The Age of Selfishness: Ayn Rand, Morality, and the Financial Crisis by Darryl Cunningham

4.0

A great primer on Ayn Rand's personal history and deplorable philosophy and the 2008 financial crisis. I already knew most of what the book detailed about the two topics, but I didn't know how the two were related. Alan Greenspan, who is largely responsible for the crisis, was a strong follower of Rand's beliefs and was a member of her circle of admirers for years. Who could have guessed that literally exalting unrepentant greed as the highest virtue would backfire so horribly?

The only problem with this book is the art. It's awful. This probably would have been better suited to be ordinary prose.
