How convenient her fictional dystopia came true by the hands of her disciples like Allen Greenspan. How many Enron, Black water and recently BP oil do you need before you realize unregulated marketplaces lead to disaster.

You obviously didn't read the book. Neither did Alan Greenspan. If he was a true devotee of Ayn Rand, I think he might have made different decisions. Why do you, Danno, WTREADER, and Black Diamond keep pushing failed socialist policies? I don't get it.

If you think I'm pushing socialist policy then you truly don't get it.

I'm pretty sure Greenspan read Rand. :lol: I admit I haven't, but I am familiar with her philosophy.

Quote:In the early 1950s he joined the inner circle of Ayn Rand, the author of “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged,” whose philosophy, known as Objectivism, was an extreme form of libertarianism that actually celebrated selfishness and greed. Many young brainiacs of dorkish tendencies go through an Ayn Rand period (her books are very popular at Microsoft). But Greenspan credits Rand as “a stabilizing force in my life” and was “a regular at the weekly gatherings at her apartment” through the early 1960s. She stood at his side when he was sworn in as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers in 1974, and they “remained close until she died in 1982.”
