The Fountainhead question

I respectfully disagree. Since Roark only acts selfishly, he would realize that it is in his best interest to work with others to get what he wants. And deals would be made quicker, easier, and since all the "Roarks" would be openly acting selfishly there wouldn't be as many problems, cause then everyone's honest about what they want.

I suppose if one were able to ignore the reality of all human history, there might be something to that "free market mumbo-jumbo".

Yep. If only everyone was selfish enough. :}
