Thanks, I'll see if I can find the Greenspan piece. I have to admit that I am horrified at the Ayn Rand connection. She really was a Ferengi. I heard her on a call-in radio show once. A nice-sounding fellow asked her in genuine puzzlement if some of her arguments did not seem to make a case for "living like an animal,"--he meant, just looking our for your own interests. If she had been a real philosopher she would have accepted this, I think. After all, we are animals that have a right to our own perspective just like any other animal. Instead she drew up in all her human grandeur: "Please, if we must lower the conversation to this level, I shall have to leave." The fellow was totally beat down. When Greenspan starts talking it sounds as if he has a great deal of sympathy and understanding of multiple needs and points of view. This is what I call rationality. I hope his real source of inspiration is more Hayek than Rand.
