Entry: The Day I Met Ayn Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_day_i_met_ayn#20520 Post contents: The idea AND the contract made it his. All the labor and materials are there for is to implment his or any creator's ideas. You badly need to take basic econ, start with George Reisman's 1,000 page opus, Capitalism, really 2,000 pages in a normal book because of its Atlas size. Ludwig Von Mises's Human Action and Murray Rothbard's Man, Economy and State with Power and Market in the Scholar's edition. Go to Amazon and order. The implementation process is not an act of nature, it is a contractual process that uses the division of labor to implement it. In Roark's case he didn't merely dream, he created the architectural blueprints for the building and it was to be implemented according to his agreement with Keating. Collectivist thugs violated the agreement and Roark as the victim was not required to wait for a taxpayer vote to take action. In those days it was impossible to sue the government because you had to get its permission to do so ! Nowadays he probably would just sue because even the verbal contract with Keating would be upheld under the circumstances. Roark could do everything all the workmen did because of his advanced intelligence but why should he ? It's like asking a surgeon to change the hospital bedpans, you hire folks of lesser ability to do these jobs. That's how 90% of us, including you, ever get a job. This is not analogous to an individual owning stocks, I can do what I please with my 401K if I need to get out or the money less agreed upon penalty. Roark had every right to destroy his building and any decent person would be glad he did. Read Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand, by Leonard Peikoff. You are sadly deficient in knowledge of Objectivism, Economics and Rational Morality. 8? your comments are incoherent. Sent at: 2008 05 16
