Supercrash: How to Highjack the Global Economy #[nn]

In "Part One Ayn Rand," the story traces the philosopher’s early years in America, from her arrival as an immigrant fleeing the Soviet Union to her rise as a controversial voice of individualism. Through her complex relationships with figures like Frank O'Connor, Nathan Branden, and Alan Greenspan, her life unfolds as a study in contradictions—celebrating autonomy while exerting intense control over those around her.

In "Part Two: The Crash," the fallout from unchecked financial deregulation unfolds as bankers, brokers, and corporate giants like Citigroup and Goldman Sachs push risky practices to the brink. With figures like Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin, and Larry Summers shaping policy, the system collapses under its own weight—leaving homeowners, small investors, and Uncle Sam to bear the cost.

In "Part Three: The Age of Selfishness," the forces of political liberals, conservatives, and the powerful clash with the struggling middle class, poor people, and a growing backlash against a system that elevates greed over community. As figures like Paul Ryan, the Koch brothers, and Ayn Rand’s influence shape a new Gilded Age, the story examines how the celebration of selfishness has reshaped economies—leaving many behind while fueling movements from the Tea Party to Nigel Farage’s populism. It’s a call to reconsider what kind of society we want, and whether we can still reclaim shared values.
