Guys, it is pointless with Ayn Rand thinkers to ask them for numbers. I agree with them that their numbers do work. Where they go wrong is the same selection bias and cherry picking theists suffer from. "For who" do those numbers work.
It is the same cherry picking that both left and right theists forget. It isn't that their numbers do not exist, it is that they are not taking in enough sample rate or control groups.
Point of view is a very evolutionary thought process. We are all going to argue for our points of view. The part he misses and what we should be arguing is not "either/or", but the 3rd option which is DIVERSITY in economics which takes into account all the conditions without the selection bias. He refuses to see that things are not as simple as "everything will be ok if everyone would repeat the pattern I advocate for".
Evolution never works like that.
