Some people say that you can't understand the American spirit without understanding Ayn Rand. Many big cows in American business, academic, political and Silicon Valley are fans of Ann Rand. This list is both weighty and scary:

In fact, not only what Jobs said, but also his management, decision-making and innovative ideas are very much like the characters in Ayn Rand's books.
