Rational selfishness



Rational selfishness, a term generally related to Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy, refers to a person's efforts to look after their own well-being, to cultivate the self and achive goals for the good of the self. This is, in essence, the basic rule of capitalism, of which Ayn Rand was an advocate.
