In something like Atlas Shrugged, we see a complete contempt for democracy as portrayed by the caricatures of the legislature, social conscience, and beaurocracy. While her criticism was amusing and all too accurate, she used it as a foil for the honest, hard-working entrepreneur who was the victim of society (the voters and their rep.s) trying to better itself. Somehow the images of industry tycoons in collusion with their regulators to keep out competition and innovation was drawn to blame only the regulators corruption and their very existence, rather than some greed and will to control on the part of the businessmen. If one looks at toxic waste in eastern europe, one sees the failure of allowing the waste creator to be its own regulator (the state in this case), NOT the result of communism destroying the world.
