Maybe... If you read the biographical material from the Brandens and others, some of the stories that are the same from all viewpoints would warn you not to suppose that you know her feelings.

She really did not have much patience with conservatives. So, the Christians and anti-birth control people would take some heat. She would have expected Paul Ryan's betrayal and that would impact her opinions on Dr. Randal Paul and other conservatives.

Also, of course, her close relationship with Alan Greenspan might color her view of our view of the Federal Reserve.

Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal cites eight works by Ludwig von Mises but none by Milton Friedman or Friedrich A. von Hayek. She did not like Hayek, personally; and in fact, Hayek and Friedman were tied together by "liberalism" along with Walter Lippmann via the Mount Pelerin Society. So, there is all of that.

In fact, if you look at the overwhelming emphasis here on politics, government, and legislation as opposed to the thin offerings on business, science, and technology, all contrasted with the absolute lack of material on epistemology and metaphysics, I am not sure that she would be amused.

Again, all of her closest friends planned a surprise party for her and they all were wrong. Sing a chorus of Ray Charles' "You Don't Know Me."

I think she would respect the sharing of ideas. I do agree that there is know way to be sure what she would think but it is fun to speculate. I like that this is not a cult. We don't all agree on everything. I welcome opposing views. It helps me sharpen my thinking.

Rand Paul is a conservative??
