The Nature of Government

Book •
"The Nature of Government" is an essay by Ayn Rand that explores her philosophy on the role and function of government in a free society.

Rand argues that the primary purpose of government is to protect individual rights, including the right to life, liberty, and property.

She advocates for a limited government that is constitutionally restrained and focused on objective laws.

Rand warns against the dangers of a welfare state and the expansion of government power, as they can lead to the violation of individual rights.

The essay emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and the need for a government that upholds justice and protects its citizens from the initiation of physical force.
