Cunningham uses Rands biography to illuminate the policies that led to the economic crash in the U.S. and in Europe  and how her philosophy continues to affect todays politics and policies  starting with her most noted disciple  economist Alan Greenspan (former chairman of the Federal Reserve). Cunningham also shows how right-wing conservatives  libertarians  and the Tea Party movement have co-opted Rands teachings (and inherent contradictions) to promote personal gain and profit at the expense of the middle class. Tackling the complexities of economics by distilling them down to a series of concepts accessible to all age groups  Cunningham ultimately delivers a devastating analysis of our current economic world.  Praise for Darryl Cunningham:  It takes other authors whole books to say what Darryl Cunningham can say in a single illustration. Jon Ronson  author of The Men Who Stare at Goats  Cunninghams art has clean lines and a continuity that is often graceful  charming  and endearing. He speaks with quiet authority on his subjects  but is careful to cite a whole range of sources and research papers. Independent  Its good to see the arguments presented so well  clearly  and concisely . . . Cunningham delivers his message with style  great art  even moments of outright comedy.\"Forbidden Planet\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648180576309,"sku":"ByrdShop_1419715984","price":20.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781419715983.jpg?v=1781711988","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-age-of-selfishness-ayn-rand-morality-and-the-financial-crisis-9781419715983","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
