Rand's views never waivered - and many of her predictions have come true.

In Atlas Shrugged, market heroes are systematically fleeced by government and incompetent competitors until the market collapses.

In real life, market heroes screwed up so badly they placed society in peril and forced government to intervene to prevent a market collapse.

Sorry, I don't see the prediction.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
