Yes - I read Ayn Rand when I was young and I recognised that Ryerdon was a metaphor for the honest free enterpriser - but I realised even then that it was a simplistic scenario. There is such a thing as the common good - your premise - in copying the quote - seemed to be that if only if we left everything to the businessmen the world would be just fine - I beg to differ - for some of the reasons I cited. I should have added big tobacco for good measure.
