Entrepreneurship -- The Fountainhead starring Gary Cooper

Policy Review, Fall 1994 by Smith, Michael

THE FOUNTAINHEAD Though Ayn Rand's brand of individualism can easily lapse into egoism, you'll find yourself rooting for maverick architect Howard Roark (Gary Cooper) in this film adaptation of Rand's novel. Roark's unconventional designs spark outrage among his peers, who are too wedded to the "soul-less robots" of society to take a risk. A classic story of society's great achievers who swim against the cultural tide.
