I don't know if you comment upon this, but I think that Rand's greatest insights were into the sociology/psychology of the anti-capitalist crowd. I can't watch anything by Robert Reich - when I can stand to watch anything by him at all - without thinking about Ayn Rand. He is the perfect Randian villian, including physically.

"...In Atlas, as the economy nosedives, politicians respond by making policy even worse, which leads to further economic collapse – and even more misguided policy."

..just ask one of 'Ayn Rand's most fervent admirer's - misguided policymaker & easy money man, Alan Greenspan
