The New Left

The Anti-Industrial Revolution
Book • 1971
In this collection of essays, Ayn Rand critiques the New Left, viewing its ideology as a form of irrational collectivism that undermines industrial progress and rational society.

The book argues that the New Left's emphasis on feelings over reason and its rejection of industrial achievements are harmful to societal advancement.

Originally published in 1971, it was later expanded and re-titled *Return of the Primitive: The Anti-Industrial Revolution* in 1999.
