I am all for capitalism. But, frankly, Hayek was lightyears ahead of Rand in terms of making a strong case for capitalism and exposing the evils of socialism. Among Rand's followers we have people like Greenspan and Niederhoffer, both notorious intellectual charlatans. I am all for free enterprise and being productive, but don't claim that Rand was anything more than a brainless cheerleader, because she was not.
