I think Ayn Rand's more durable legacy will come not from her melodramatic fantasy life, but from her promotion of "shrugging" as a way for society's alpha producers to escape from progressivism. Jeff Bezos provided an example of "shrugging" the other day in response to California's new tax on internet trade. This decentralized, dispersed form of resistance by leaving progressive abusers will probably have more staying power than the irrational fixation many libertarians have on getting Ron Paul into the White House, despite their criticism about using political, top-down solutions to problems in other areas.
