Rather cool reality subversion of the week: someone in the background at a G20 protest on the news holding aloft a sign reading "WHO IS JOHN GALT?", an oblique reference to a plot point in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.
I don't understand, however, why a person in a anti-capitalist demo would be promoting a book with a fiercely right-wing ideology which wholeheartedly supports the kind of unregulated economic greed which led us into this global crisis in the first place.

The point I was making that the fictional John Galt was against the 'moochers' and 'looters' ... in other words a 'clean capitalist'.
The other side of my banner said 'Punish the looters'.
I explained all this to many journalists & TV journalists.
My 'clean capitalism' comments were printed in many papers.
