Malcolm Gladwell versus Ayn Rand: Who is right?

I think you're associating two things that Gladwell didn't. He brings up rice farming for the anecdote about fallow-fields versus 360-days-of-work.

In that case I was wrong to trust the article linked here.

Yeah. It's a pretty bad one.

I just remembered that I read "Tipping Point" years ago and didn't detect any prejudice or really any negativity. I just didn't put two and two together (Gladwell's name doesn't stand out to me).

The article is good. Just look a the discussion it's begun.

But the discussion exists because the topic is so vivid. The article itself is rambling, incoherent, and at many times wrong.
