I have a reluctant admiration for Adrian that as we sit here in the
economic and democratic wreckage resulting from the application of
the kind of economic pseudo-science peddled by Ayn Rand and the like
(greed is good, etc), he still slogs on arguing the case for it.
There *is* such a thing as society, and its values are far more
complex than can be shown on a spreadsheet.
All the best
