Ayn Rand
(redirected from Alisa Rosenbaum)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Ayn Rand
A philosopher and novelist closely associated with beliefs in limited government and in free market capitalism. Strongly individualist, Rand opposed most policies that directed any individual effort toward a collective goal. This led her to become an opponent of most social programs geared toward reducing poverty; she also opposed anti-trust laws, which she believed violated free market principles. She had a strong influence on future Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan. She lived from 1905 to 1982.
