Yeah, I can't find a nice thing to say about Ayn Rand. Bad philosophy in expressed in worse novels. But I think around the edges people start with dissatisfaction and latch on to the theory that seems to best express it, so "is this theory bullshit" isn't the right question to ask (they all are), the question to ask is "why have you latched on to this theory." Now, I think guys like Alan Greenspan probably latch onto it because feudalism isn't so bad if you're on top, but I don't think that's the motivation for the rank-and-file libertarian, who are for the most part not on top and know it.
