She is the biggest reason why I became a laissez-faire capitalist. I laid a further foundation in college with Ludwig von Mises, Clarence Carson and Friedrick Hayek and the good folks at FEE.

I understand the arguments she uses, but I just can't get around the effects of unrestrained economic power on those within an economic system that have had their choices narrowed. The dangers of monopoly are real - risks which Rand and her laissez-faire capitalism do not fully appreciate.

Put me in the "play fair" capitalist niche - almost no regulation other than that which ensures some level of fair competition.
