“....Greenspan was part of “The Collective,” a small group of students who gathered around Rand in the 1950s and 1960s”

Oh, are ones early associates now an issue?

For anyone on the Right, yes.

For anyone on the Left, no.

Get with the program.

Well it does look like Greenspan was a fairly conservative economist. Maybe some Rand rubbed off on him even though I would quite disagree with Rand on a spiritual plane. Not everything of worth can be measured in dollars and cents.

Early? Greenspan was the truest acolyte of Rand. He ran the Fed up until a few years ago.

Later, he broke down and sobbed in front of Congress that his “freedom” ideas about how self-interested financiers who invent money and other stuff they openly call “toxic” will morally police themselves for the better good.

He has no human insight, though Rand did. He just has the lawless bug. Sometimes I think he is mildly autistic.
