Greenspan met Rand in the early fifties after leaving Columbia, attending meetings at Rand’s apartments with a circle of like-minded intellectual jerk-offs who called themselves by the ridiculous name the “Collective”… These meetings of the “Collective” would have an enormous impact on American culture by birthing a crackpot antitheology dedicated to legitimizing relentless self-interest—a grotesquerie called objectivism that hit the Upper East Side cocktail party circuit hard in the fifties and sixties.
