Having written that, I'm having second thoughts.
No, it is far later than that.
It's even looking to be far too late, comrade wiggys.
Unless or until the moral values portrayed in the book are cited, argued, defended, and tirelessly represented, as Rand so powerfully dramatized, public acknowledgement will have little consequential impact.

it an imperfect title, and he suggested Atlas

The viros do the same to property rights, They hate property rights and hate the real estate market. They don't believe land should be a "commodity".

I can only guess what Wall Street critics think b/c they rarely say it. I heard a non-partisan commentator a few years ago say if you Google OWS, you would get pre-filled searches like "What are OWS positions?" b/c they weren't at all clear what they wanted. My guess is they think separating the owners from the liability results in unethical behavior, but I don't know. That would mean they're fine with debt instruments but not equity instruments.
