Its not young people that matter but the class responsible for educating them, the intellectuals. Few intellectuals even know what capitalism is and what an historical achievement it is. Much to the intellectual's dismay on both the left and right she ain't going away after decades of smears, misrepresentation and attempts to ignore her arguments.
Cf. Ayn Rand's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism:_The_Unknown_Ideal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism:_The_Unknown_Ideal
NB: This is not a book on economics, in this book she makes a moral case for capitalism based on her ethics of rational egoism, i.e selfishness. She was not primarily interested in politics or economics except as a consequence of her work in epistemology and ethics. I urge anyone who cares about the future of Western Civilization to read her books and judge it for yourself instead of repeating what others say about her. At the very least it will force you to examine some of your own premises and worldview, i.e it will make you think, even if you disagree.
