I read the Ayn Rand series many years ago as well as much of her non-fiction. While I don't agree with all of her views, I am very much in agreement with her economic theories. Capitalism, contrary to recent views, is the foundation of any successful society. As a student and teacher of history, I can see where capitalism began and led to the invention of writing. Something that is key to our success as humans. I am looking forward to good conversation and intelligent thought here in the gulch.
