So, who's worse? Greenspan or Rand? I'm pretty sure that very few people heading the F.R. would have done better than Greenspan... but Rand wrote a few novels that perfectly reflect her pathological psyche. She was a clear case of NPD and abused amphetamines for decades.

I've only read Atlas Shrugged.. and that only because I couldn't put it down. Had to see whether it could get any worse..
