Have you thrown out Atlas Shrugged yet?

So a friend asks in relation to the financial crisis. Of course not! Atlas Shrugged is still the greatest achievement of any mind on any world in the history of the universe. It just needs a little updating.

  1. Hmm…to be honest I wasn’t as big a fan of “Atlas Shrugged” as “The Fountainhead”.

  2. You’re joking, right?

  3. Sounds like someone’s in need of a visit to Ayn Rand re-education camp.

  4. If you think that the current financial crisis had anything to do with Rand’s ideas, then it’s time to (re-)read it, not throw it out! Yes, Ala Greenspan was an early admirer, and, yes, Alan Greenspan is largely responsible for the current mess. But that is because Alan Greenspan turned his back on her ideas long ago.

    Get a clue.

    Seems like the only people still reading Rand are a bunch of jackassy douchebags! :)
