Screen Guide for Americans

by Ayn Rand

Overview

At a time when the Red Scare was a household term, Americans were keenly aware and alert. It's easy to spot Communism when it's being chanted, when a protest sign hovers in the air, or when those who advocate such a system speak openly about it. Dangerous ideas are not always obvious, however. Communism was cleverly finding new ways to infiltrate American culture with its propaganda.

For this reason, in 1947, Ayn Rand wrote the screen guide printed here for the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals.

Whether we like it or not, dangerous ideas always exist, and we must know how to recognize them.

About the Author

Ayn Rand (1905-1982) is best known for her books Anthem, Atlas Shrugged, and The Fountainhead. The Russian born American author and philosopher was very critical of communism and an advocate of capitalism. Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are put forth in three nonfiction books, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, The Virtues of Selfishness, and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. Though her books and beliefs have faced much criticism from academia, she is still championed by many contemporary conservatives and libertarians.
