Ayn Rand is usually 100% correct. Most people don't recognize the fact she traveled to the U.S. on her own, learned English as a second language, was a jew a free-thinker and became a best selling author in several languages. I would like to see gregor-ee try that. The financial crisis of 2007–2010 spurred renewed interest in her works, especially Atlas Shrugged, which some saw as foreshadowing the crisis. Conservative talk show hosts, such as Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz and Rush Limbaugh recommended the novel to their audiences, and opinion articles compared real-world events with the plot of the novel. Signs mentioning Rand and her fictional hero John Galt appeared at Tea Party protests, while the Cato Institute's Will Wilkinson quipped that "going Galt" had become the "libertarian-conservative's version of progressives threatening to move to Canada." en.wikipedia.org
