About this Collection

This graphic novel by writer/artist Darryl Cunningham examines the influence of Ayn Rand's philosophy on modern American politics and economics, tracing how her ideas were adopted by figures like Alan Greenspan and contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. It collects the complete three-issue series originally published by Abrams ComicArts in 2015, blending nonfiction comics with critical analysis of Rand's Objectivism and its real-world consequences.

"Part One Ayn Rand" by Darryl Cunningham is a sharp, visually striking exploration of how Rand’s philosophy of selfishness influenced political shifts in Britain and the U.S. during the Thatcher and Reagan eras. Through clear, compelling storytelling and stark artwork by Cunningham, the issue examines the real-world consequences of embracing unfettered self-interest—deregulation, economic inequality, and the erosion of the middle class—while suggesting that history offers hope through collective action.
