Unbridled Capitalism

The Enigma of Capital and the Crises of Capitalism
01.02.2011

Ayn Rand didn't know how to make small talk; she lived for big ideas and bold statements.  She believed capitalism was the best social system ever invented, and even took to wearing a gold pin in the shape of a dollar sign.  Ayn Rand died nearly thirty years ago, but she's now inspiring a new generation of anti-government rabble-rousers.  We'll talk about the Ayn Rand revival in this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge.
