Alan Greenspan supports policies which he knows are incorrect.

He wrote an article for his beloved god-lady, Ayn Rand (he was a member of "the Collective," after all...) which explains the superiority of the gold standard. Personally, I prefer strictly regulated fiat money, but the fact remains that we have an Objectivist for our Fed chairman.

Liking Ayn Rand doesn't make one an Objectivist. *points at self*

He was a member of "the Collective," i.e. Rand's cult.

BTW, it was named "the Collective" on purpose. Someone liked irony...

And your point is?

Ayn Rand was the ultimate troll. She did so well that objectivists today don't even have to speak to get people to go off on twenty page tirades about how "wrong" she was.
