Synopsis: Ayn Rand immigrates to America from the new communist state in Russia. While many people help her along her way through life, she always insists that she accomplished everything on her own. Developing the libertarian philosophy of Objectivism, she bullies and dominates her circle, despite glorifying individual liberty and autonomy. Her novels develop a following attracted by her exaltation of selfishness, her contempt for government, and her disdain for community.

Synopsis: Financial deregulation in the U.S. and in Great Britain leads to a frenzy of unsafe and unethical practices. These in turn lead to a financial and economic crash, since the invisible hand of the marketplace failed to correct or limit bad practice. In order to save the economy, payment for the losses was shifted to taxpayers, thus insulating financial leaders from losses deriving from their bad decisions and bad behavior.

Subject Matter

Genres: non-fiction, opinion

Character(s): Political liberals; political conservatives; rich people; poor people; struggling middle class; Anne Coulter; hippies; criminals; police; Paul Ryan; David H. Koch; Charles G. Koch; Murray Rothbard; Rick Santelli; "Tea Party" members; Nigel Farage; Uncle Sam; Ayn Rand

Synopsis: Political liberals and political conservatives seem in many ways to be "hard-wired" into their positions. With the election of Thatcher in Britain and Reagan in the U.S., both countries entered a period where many in political and economic power enthused over Rand's ideas glorifying selfishness. Resulting deregulation crippled the economy, ruined many in the middle class, and made life even harder for the poor, but benefited the super-rich. While a new Gilded Age is at hand, citizen movements in the past have wrought positive social change. Selfishness is no virtue; it's time to reject it.
