I'm not talking about the governments of the past, I mean the "theory"
behind it. If we are in a global depression, what's wrong with the
government handling just about everything until things straighten
themselves out.

The Tramp's Speech from Atlas Shrugged:

Well, there was something that happened at that plant where I worked for
twenty years. It was when the old man died and his heirs took over. There
were three of them, two sons and a daughter, and they brought a new plan to
run the factory. They let us vote on it, too, and everybody - almost
everybody - voted for it. We didn't know. We thought it was good. No, that's
not true, either. We thought that we were supposed to think it was good. The
plan was that everybody in the factory would work according to his ability,
but would be paid according to his need.

In other words, they reached a Consensus.

Ayn Rand's book "Atlas Shruged" book has been rising rapidly on the
best seller list.

What does all this mean?

I don't know.
I'm just sayin' is all.
