| I agree with parts of what Ayn Rand says. She starts with a good beginning, great arguments, but then concludes with "Therefore be a colossal prick to everyone" |

I haven't read the book but I will say that this sounds like a great ending. |

| The root of money, my friend, is meaningless. The scrip you use every day means nothing in practical terms. It has artificial worth, the goods you purchase with it mean something, but money is based on value that does not exist. It is a practical system, but nonetheless, it is based on value that never was. |

The book is long, but it's intriguing.
Ayn Rand is delicious. |

| Ayn Rand is a Scumbag who of which people like here are responsible for as much pain and suffering as the followers of karl marx, the difference being that Ayn rand's world view is played out correctly, while marx's did not. |

| Homage to Catalonia Written on Geroge Orwell's actual life experiences, rather then Ayn Rand's sitting at home supporting grapeits and and projecting her own masochism disorder on her vision for society. |

@gfd
"Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?"

| Ayn Rand is nuts, let the poor die? That is sadistic! Orwell is taught in schools and is a celebrated authour. |

Orwell wrote against Evil, he could not care if it was called left wing or right wing.
Ayn Rand implied evil is the ultimate good. |
