81. Biographical Interview 14; Isabel Paterson to AR, undated, ARP 145-PA7. Taken as
a whole, Paterson’s chapter does not bear the stamp of Rand in any signifi cant way. Her
style of argument is dramatically different from Rand’s, for she uses specifi c examples
drawn from history, economics, and religious thought. Nor were Paterson’s conclusions
the same as Rand’s. While criticizing humanitarianism for its unintended consequences,
she does not reject traditional morality altogether: “Nor is it suggested that
the virtues of good people are really not virtues.” Isabel Paterson, God of the Machine
(1943; New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction, 1993), 236. Instead she draws attention to the
neglected importance of production and the distortions of modern, state-supported
philanthropy. Steven Cox reaches similar conclusions about the plagiarism allegation in
The Woman and the Dynamo: Isabel Paterson and the Idea of America (New Brunswick,
NJ: Transaction, 2004), 306–12.

infl uence.
