Ayn Rand is not my philosophical hero, but remember she also strongly believed in the ultimate value of Gold over any kind of fiat currency.
ReplyDeleteHoard Gold not currency, especially in a government imposed deflationary environment.
She was right, since 1959 gold is up 15x. That was government peddled inflation, not deflation. Inflation is what socialists sell, printed paper to prevent having to work for it.
ReplyDeleteBernanke is king of the socialists, Bush and Obama are loyal members of the court for unlimited private profits at citizen expense. But the socialist heyday of taking advantage of the many for the benefit of the few are in collapse.
Atlas Shrugged was published Oct 10, 1957.
