Turning Avarice Into A Virtue

Here is a great essay about the moral cesspool we have created in the US:

The essay does have a serious flaw, however - it makes no mention of Ayn Rand. Rand and her acolyte Alan Greenspan sold the lie of "enlightened self interest" to my generation, contributing mightily to the economic disaster from which we now suffer. Those two bear the burden of guilt at least as much as anyone else one can mention.
