ROTHBARDS clash with RAND
Came across an intresting rabbit hole of two writers I greatly admire.
It appears Murray Rothbard admired Atlas Shrugged and even titled it 'greatest novel ever", but afterwards Ayn Rand got corrupted by the power it gave her and Rothbard pointed that out.
"the guiding spirit of the
Randian movement was not individual liberty – as it seemed to many young members – but rather
personal power for Ayn Rand and her leading disciples"
