I love the idea of “Primacy of existence.” A lot of Ayn Rand’s ideas were not hers, but thinkers such as Francis Bacon (“Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.”). I think the book “The Objectivist Philosophy of Ayn Rand,” in the first four chapters is most valuable and those are ideas from great thinkers preceding Ayn Rand. So to be anti Ayn Rand in everything is ridiculous. IMO. I’ve gone into exploring Austrian economics myself. It’s not easy. There is a whole lot of material and I will need to study it full time to become an expert. So instead I read small essays on certain aspects. I just finished reading Saifedean Ammous’ book on The Bitcoin Standard. He is an Austrian economist and seems to still think gold is valuable, but he is a bitcoin proponent. Another one is just an essay I read by Jorg Guido Hulsman, “Deflation and Liberty.”
