Berkeley is much misunderstood, and Rand did nothing to correct that situation., Berkeley was interested in restoring the philosophical respectability of the common sense view of the world, which in his view had taken powerful and undeserved hits from Descartes, Locke and others.

He wasn't trying to deny that matter exists (much less that being exists), he was trying to explain in what its existence consists.
