"Economic
power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward, an
incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of
a negative, by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment,
destruction. The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is
fear." - Ayn Rand

Without Rand's knowledge, We the Living,
was made into a two-part film by Italian filmmakers in 1942. Shortly
after release, authorities banned the film because of its anti-fascist
themes.
Rediscovered in the 1960s by Rand's lawyers, Erika and Henry Mark Holzer, the films were re-edited by Duncan Scott, under the supervision of Ayn Rand. Rand often reflected that We the Living was as close to an autobiography as she would ever write. Buy Ayn Rand's We The Living on DVD now. |
