Amid all the coverage of Alan Greenspan's memoir, The Age of Turbulence (disappointment with the current administration, dodging responsibility for the real estate bubble, novelistic and engaging treatment of his jazz filled youth and rise to economic sage and but limited insight into personal philosophy and thinking) there was an interesting article in The New York Times on his devotion to Ayn Rand. As a member of Rand's inner circle he was deeply influenced by her free-market philosophy and defense of individual rights. The NYTimes online features a 1957 Letter to the Editor written by Alan Greenspan in response to a negative review of Rand's Atlas Shrugged.
