Growing interest in libertarianism

Amol Kapila

While searching for an unrelated book on Amazon, I realized that after typing in the letters ‘at’, the first suggestion that came up was ‘atlas shrugged’.  With ‘fou’, ‘fountainhead’ is the ninth suggestion.  ‘ay’ yields ‘ayn rand’ as the first choice.  ‘milt’ yields ‘milton friedman’ as #1.

This inspired me to try this on Google.  ‘ay’ yields ‘ayn rand’ as #2.  ‘atl’ yields ‘atlas shrugged’ as #7.  ‘fount’ yields #5 as ‘fountainhead’.  ‘milt’ yields ‘milton friedman’ as #1.

I doubt that these rankings have always been this high.  Increased interest in libertarian ideas is the most likely culprit.  I remain optimistic…
