Taken from the November 7th edition of Pajamas Media.com’s PJM Political on Sirius-XM Satellite Radio’s POTUS Channel, Ed Driscoll interviews Jennifer Burns, assistant professor of history at the University of Virginia. They discuss her new book, Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right, and the surprisingly resurgence of Rand’s vision of free market capitalism, only months after Newsweek ushered in the Obama administration by declaring on its cover in February, “We Are All Socialists Now.”
Burns was also recently interviewed by Reason.tv as part of their retrospective on Rand. Click on YouTube player below to watch that interview:

Who did the graphics for this article? For goodness sakes, they make Ayn look like a friggin communist! Not doing her any favors!
WhyamInotsurprised:
I did. It’s a parody of the ubiquitous Che poster and T-shirt; there’s a larger version here. And I’d be surprised, if anyone’s been following the radio show, or the individual blogs of its host or myself for any length of time and they believe we’d directly equate Rand with communism.
Hi Ed, I can appreciate it to a degree. All the hero worship of Che, Mao, Lenin, and others just irks me.
So to see Ayn in that format got to me. Thanks for the larger format. I had missed the $ on the beret.
She is one of my favorites also. However, I’d rather give her her due in a different light and ignore the
rest of the bums.
Take care.
