Ayn shrugged

Ayn Rand
As a writer, Ayn Rand, to put it kindly, was a hack. I don’t think even her most ardent admirers will go so far as to praise her craftsmanship. What they dig is her political philosophy. Now that a really bad film has been released based on her trite and boring novel Atlas Shrugged, it is the perfect time to take a closer look at Rand.

He talks to Michael Marshall about drawing fire from Richard Dawkins, the perils of punishment, and devising the mathematical equivalent of the rules of religion.
