Ayn Rand's seminal essay, in which she explains the philosophical foundations of her code of rational selfishness - and, by contrast, exposes the fallacy of the ethical code of altruism, is now online at the website of the Ayn Rand Institute.
The essay, originally delivered by Rand as a paper at the University of Wisconsin Symposium on “Ethics in Our Time” in Madison, Wisconsin, on February 9, 1961, is also included in her collection, "The Virtue of Selfishness".
