Back when Ayn Rand wrote, or when Plato wrote, Shakespeare wrote, or any other classic artist/writer created works, it was probably not so glorified during that time period.The level of quality and profundity, is the "core value" and the reason why it gets brought up in the future and christened as a "classic". This is the similar phenomenon as a start up with a core product that has solid value to people, but is in the development phase where they have not realized a return on their investment.I feel like Stefan's works, like Practical Anarchy, will be studied in the future when we do get a free society, or when there are organized philosophiy-oriented schools (online or offline) that will anarchy, in government/econ/gametheory courses.
The quality is just so totally there.
