John Galt is Smiling

TIA Daily tipped me off to a column by Caroline Baum at Bloomberg, which opens with the provocative sentence: “somewhere John Galt is smiling”.  Baum points out that the portion of Atlas Shrugged where the businessmen of the world walk away from their enterprises is still fiction — for now — and discusses the fact that government needs business, but business does not need government.  I couldn’t agree more.
