Ayn Rand in a Capital Market

Ayn Rand loved efficient markets

eBay is one of those sites that epitomizes capitalism and objectivism principles. I think Ayn would have been proud to have items with her name listed on there.

    You have a seriously skewed idea of good and bad if you think ayn rand is the greatest author ever. She was to busy trying to cram her philosophy down her readers throat to create believable characters or story lines. The people that buy into her ideology are damaged and it's scary that she's being quoted as often as she is in the media these days.

    Who is Richard Halley. John Galt may have been a hero for the last age. Halley, the composer, is a closer type for the age that is dawning. Atlas Shrugged is a must read.
