In a subthread on The Oil Drum about Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged a poster named "Boby" makes a great comment about former Federal Reserve Chairman's long association with Ayn Rand: Alan Greenspan is the modern day John Galt.
In my opinion Alan Greenspan is(was)John Galt. In what way you ask? Again in my opinion, history will judge his policies as leading to the destruction of the financial system as we know it.
What a hoot.

The distinctly un-heroic looking and aged Greenspan is about as far away as you can possibly get.
