Political liberals and political conservatives seem in many ways to be "hard-wired" into their positions. With the election of Thatcher in Britain and Reagan in the U.S., both countries entered a period where many in political and economic power enthused over Rand's ideas glorifying selfishness. Resulting deregulation crippled the economy, ruined many in the middle class, and made life even harder for the poor, but benefited the super-rich. While a new Gilded Age is at hand, citizen movements in the past have wrought positive social change. Selfishness is no virtue; it's time to reject it.
