I have to go back through the book or maybe earlier Freeperbookclub threads to find the lines I think she wrote that criticize the people who shuffle papers but produce nothing of real value.

That was me in a reply to another FReeper. I pointed out that we converted our economy from manufacturing -- which we moved abroad to take advantage of lower labor costs -- to shuffling paper assets from one pile to another. The leasing industry, which exists because of lines in the tax code, is a good example of this. So is the entire derivatives industry on Wall Street -- which has gotten us into a real fix.

Ahh... So, then I must've imagined that Rand wrote it.
