Why all the incessant Rand bashing? It strikes me as being really ignorant. Ayn Rand presented a moral defense of capitalism, and entrepreneurs should be thankful for that.


So-called entrepreneurs who are anti-Rand are typically the types whose projects are not really innovative, and depend more on bubble mentalities than on actual value added. If all you want is to have a VC look at your degree and your buzzwords and write a check, then you have no use for Rand's philosophy or any sort of moral defense of capitalism -- yours is a world of saying what others want to hear and getting in good with the powerful.
