Liberal economics is alright in my books, but American style liberalized market economics is fast on track to bankrupting the American economy and society. Greed is good, in relation to growth nextdoor to the worlds #1 economy, but it needs to be a moderated greed.

But thats just my opinion posted on Fraser Institute's own youtube channel.

Did you know that Ayn Rand admired a murderer name William Edward Hickman? In 1928, in LA, Hickman murdered a 12 year-old girl dismembering her body & dumping it out of a car in sight of the girl's father from whom Hickman had extorted $1500. Rand referred to Hickman as her "ideal man" who'd escaped the bonds of society's morality living according to his own interests.

This woman was a psycopath! And American conservatives admire her as if she were some kind of deity!
