Introduction Compact

Hi, I was an Ayn Rand fanatic.
I have however learned much about the world of ecnonomics, and I believe her theory is not applicable to the current world. Still, her works were interesting and to the uninspired mind of a 14 year old, they were even glorious.

This place is for anyone who wishes to talk about her ideas. Discussions should be civilized, that means no ad hominem. So let's get to it!

some useful links:
aynrand.org
nathanialbranden.net

Suggested Reading:
Capitalism the Unknown Ideal
Fountainhead
Atlas Shrugged
Anthem
My Years with Ayn Rand

That's about it I repeat, no ad hominem. I know this may be a touchy subject for some people.
