The political, economic and social traditions in America that are at least 200 years old: individualism, freedom, free markets and limit government size and influence in private lives.
In special reference to individualism, it has never really been much explored anywhere. I would alter this sad tradition under the values offer through Mavellonialist training. Individualism would be the law of the land as well as our cultural norm and religious expression. What I have proposed is taking it deeper and wider to its ultimate conclusion--this leads to peaceful but revolutionary change and improvement.
Ayn Rand was cursorily dismissed intellectuals and the ruling class as a shallow thinker fit only for entertaining juveniles before they morphed into mature, responsible adult altruists, as any reasonable, clear-thinking adults comes to conclude.
She was onto something, and she has been dismissed too soon--to the loss of all.
