摘要
Abstract: Don Draper's character on Mad Men appears to be Ayn Rand's heroic being sprung to life. Far from a pure celebration of Rand's objectivism, however, Mad Men shows the cost of embracing selfishness as a virtue. The show demonstrates the inherent tension between unfettered freedom and social relationships.
