"Giving up her royalties to preserve her vision is something that no genuine capitalist, and few popular novelists, would have done."

Book Review - ‘Ayn Rand and the World She Made,’ by Anne C.­Heller - NYTimes.com

Rafer sez:
This reviewer needs to stick to literature and leave economics to other people. She gave up $.07 per book to avoid a large editing change. Her reasoning is unknown.  A ‘genuine capitalist’ will often lower prices in order to improve other more critical metrics like total revenue, profit, etc., if the tradeoff is likely to create a better outcome.
