Charles Murray of the American Enterprise Institute says "Ayn Rand was a philosophical hypocrite, but a magical novelist" over at The Federalist.

Of course he's referring to The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, two amazing novels, that express so thoroughly what is wrong with a politically and government dominated economy.
Murray tells us:
"The novels are what make Ayn Rand important. Better than any other American novelist, she captured the magic of what life in America is supposed to be. The utopia of her novels is not a utopia of greed. It is not a utopia of Nietzschean supermen. It is a utopia of human beings living together in Jeffersonian freedom."
Murray didn't care for Rand's philosophy but thought she expressed the "truths in her fiction so powerfully that they continue to inspire each new generation." I agree.
If you have not read Rand's novels, I challenge you to do so.
