Ayn Rand's novels are supposed to idealize the individualist who can accomplish all these great things without the interference of the Ebil State!
And so to illustrate this, she chooses professions like architect, and railroad magnate, which require the concerted labor of hundreds, thousands of other people to accomplish anything. These are supposed to be the people who are better than society? They can't do anything without society! None of their accomplishments could happen without the work of many other people, and the regulations involved in a society.
So I'm confused what the point's supposed to be.
