I'll pass, Randian economics are Darwinistic economics.

Good luck on the project though...

Still light years ahead of Keynsian economics. :-)

Rand was also an atheist, and not one who is merely skeptical or one who required empirical proof as opposed to faith.

The only ones that work...

The problem with your point of view is that it assumes that people are one dimensional - selfish only.

Another important quality shared by most humans is "empathy" or compassion. The ability to relate to what others may be going through. This is what creates charities, volunteerism and caring for your family, friends, and neighbors.

These two qualities are separate but not inconsistent. In fact one could even argue that compassion derives from selfishness - it feels good to give. But before you can give you have to have.
