re: #80 Obdicut

Ayn Rand’s ‘philosophy’ is incoherent, self-contradictory, and based on about a billion demonstrably false assumptions.

And isn’t it nice to know one of her biggest fans was a former Federal Reserve chairman? 9_9

Mr. Greenspan met Rand when he was 25 and working as an economic forecaster…Mr. Greenspan had married a member of Rand’s inner circle known as the Collective, that met every Saturday night in her New York apartment. Rand did not pay much attention to Mr. Greenspan until he began praising drafts of “Atlas,” which she read aloud to her disciples, according to Jeff Britting, the archivist of Ayn Rand’s papers. He was attracted, Mr. Britting said, to “her moral defense of capitalism.”
