Editor's Desk, March 2006 Raw panic. That’s what I felt after we’d published the previous two issues. How, I wondered dismally, could we ever top those amazing covers—the infamous “Muhammad cartoon,” followed by the notorious “BraThe New Individualist cover ngelina”? I should have had more confidence in the creative talents of art designer David Sims, who produced the stunning “Muhammad” cover. This time, to showcase Stephen Green’s lighthearted tribute to “ B-Movie Individualis m,” David takes a nostalgic trip back to the ’50s with images inspired by such cheesy classics as “Earth Versus the Flying Saucers” and “Them!” Okay, maybe the imagery doesn’t have much to do with individualism, but even Steve loved the cover. And in his article, he finally offers philosophical rationalizations for loving movies that feature the visual splendors of exploding spaceships and Elle MacPherson.
Readers of Ayn Rand ’s Atlas Shrugged , which so notably portrayed the American businessman as a hero, may well be wondering what to say
What has prompted people, over the course of three millennia, to look upon work and commerce as degrading and deceitful? Why have they
BOOK REVIEW: Edwin S. Rockefeller, The Antitrust Religion (Washington, D.C.: Cato Institute, 2007), 123 pages. $9.95 (hardcover). When Ayn Rand published Alan Greenspan’s criticism of the antitrust laws in 1966, there were relatively few critics of antitrust, and certainly few lawyers and economists among them. Now there are many: mostly university professors, Austrian School economists, and writers for libertarian think-tanks. However, there are very few critics who are pillars of the U.S. antitrust bar. So it is quite significant to hear a rejection of the entire notion of antitrust from someone who is a former chairman of the American Bar Association’s Section of Antitrust Law with more than fifty years of practice in the field. Edwin S. Rockefeller is a venerable member of the antitrust establishment. For this, if for no other reason, his critique, The Antitrust Religion, is significant.
