How Ayn Rand Helped Make the US into a greedy, selfish nation

Via Praveen Swami on twitter.
A demagogue, in addition to hypnotic glibness, must also be intellectually inconsistent, sometimes boldly so. This eliminates challenges to authority by weeding out clear-thinking young people from the flock.

I understand the destructive scope of rand's philosophy, but I have a hard time understanding it's appeal. Obviously some find it compelling, though to me it looks intellectually shallow, her books incredibly boring, and her heroes laughable.
