This book teaches you, how to first think about yourself, than others.

No, it doesn't.

In a world of Ayn Rand everyone also works together. She wrote, that people should work with each other. They will benefit from this. One person is not capable of doing everything. However, you can choose who to work with. You would always want to work with someone who does everything right and in time.

All people are not equal, and that is a fact, but in rational world they can work hard to be noticed by another rational person. You don't judge by the look of their skin, cloths or fortune. You judge by the way they think. There would be no slaves, those who worked hard would earn more.

The machines are built by workers, but who made the blueprint? They sold it or shared it to make life more comfortable for themselves, thus making the progress. You will end up with better and more goods. This is one of the reasons you must value yourself.

Money is virtue, because it's one of the least thing people agreed on as equal value to something. I really don't want to barter for the new phone, to be honest.

It's a problem, that you are not getting paid enough, but that's not problem of the money, that's people who are paying less are a problem.

Communism isn't equal too. You, in fact, would get paid the same amount as everyone else. What's the point of doing better and more, if you get paid the same?

So I still don't understand to be honest, are there other explanations? With all my pleasure, if everything is shared, I do not want to share my woman with someone, who needs it more. Share my workplace with someone who needs it more, but I will give it to someone, who's better than me. Share my payment, because someone needs it more. If I want to, I have some surplus and I won't need it, than sure, I will share. I won't do it mandatory.
