: Why is Ayn Rand Crazy?
: Is it genetic?
: Is it the environment?
: Was she determined by histroicsal development?
: Was it too much lead paint?
: Does anyone really know?
She grew up under a communist regime. Life sucked. She went to the US and saw that capitalism worked, even though the new deal was setting in. She liked capitalism and freedom as opposed to communism along with poverty and government control. She wasn't crazy, she was right.
