No, this is era of prophets like Al Gore, Barack Obama, Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Bono, Bob Gendolf, Jose Manuel Barosso or Naomi Klein.

I'd say Rand was about as hard an materialist libertarian that you could get.
I love liberty and freedom, but there has to be a more optimistic way of talking about it these days
It's true that this is an age of prophets, but there is a distinctive, yet subtle, backlash slowly occuring in my opinion. The thing with utopians is the their utopia never arrives, people start to get wise after awhile.
