The ghost of Ayn Rand

If radical libertarianism could bring its believers back from the dead, it might win more adherents.

We couldn’t help but notice an item in National Journal’s Daybook promoting an event Thursday night at the University of Maryland. The item promised a “book discussion of ‘The Fountainhead’ and the morality of rational egoism, with author Ayn Rand.”

Must have been quite a discussion, being that Rand has been dead for 26 years.
