O.K., here we go. I met Ayn Rand in person before she passed this way on the way to immortality; I only met Dr. Russell after he passed away. YOU ASKED FOR IT!

Speaking of their philosophies they are diametrically opposite. Ayn Rand is an atheist and anti-mystic. Dr. Russell is neither. For Ayn Rand, pure capitalism has never been practiced and so she attempts to create a capitalist utopia in her novel "Atlas Shrugged". Dr. Russell worked with american companies, notably IBM, to implement a code of business ethics that would not only safeguard the consumer at large but also the businessman.

Each of these two figures played an important role in society and they are both worthy of great admiration but my advise is do not mix their teachings. Keep them separate and you will come out a winner.

I've not read any Walter Russell, but as I said, Rand I am familiar with. How would you compare their ethics?

Ayn Rand exlplains her ethics in her book The Virtue of Selfishness.
Dr. Russell expounds the principles of business ethics in the book he co-authored with his wife Lao; the title of the book is The World Crisis -its explanation and solution.

I myself can summarize the whole caboodle in two words but I rather you find out for yourself. O-key-do-key artichoke-y.

Yes, I've read the Rand. I was curious about W. Russell's ethics. I've not read any of his work; looking at the stacks of unread literature about my house, I have a hard time reading much else, especially when the books are all classics.
