Z, it's obvious to me that either you haven't read any of Rand's work, or you are paying more attention to the left-wing portrayal of Rand. Not everyone is meant to be a John Galt, but Rand argues that society should be celebrating industrialists like him because he promotes true progress. Galt doesn't exploit his workers. Rather, he helps them by bringing jobs to them, paying them a good market wage, and letting them participate in the engine that moves society forward. Like I said before, exploiting others to achieve your own happiness is very anti-Randian, and it's odd that you think she would argue for such a self-contradictory practice. Tenchusatsu
