The CEO of Sears Fails His Company by Believing in Ayn Rand and the Invisible Hand
Please discuss.
It has long interested me that so many people in America (but apparently not elsewhere to the same extent) take Ayn Rand's notion of human nature seriously. When I first read Rand at age 15, she made sense to me. By age 18 or 19, though, I had learned enough about human nature to know she was practically medieval in her grasp of human psychology, etc. Eddie Lampert appears to be someone who has reached the age of 50 or so while maintaining Rand's adolescent views on human nature. Strange, that.
