Chris Dillow — The rich as heroes

Was Ayn Rand just the expression of a cultural syndrome and an amplification of the Horatio Alger myth?

Have new cultural myths been born to suit the historical transition from feudalism to liberalism, in the West at least? 

Are the conflicts between liberalism and traditionalism the conflict of different myths characteristic of incompatible worldview?

How is it that many conservatives find no contradiction between economic liberalism and social and political traditionalism?

Is economic liberalism just a variation of cultural traditionalism?
