Friedman's a different case in that he joins an established tradition of thought that's been institutionalized in universities. So people are signing up and paying money and getting credentialed to learn these ideas. So to my mind, these are two different ways, but really emblematic ways of how ideas spread. So Rand, I think of as more bottom-up, like people encounter the idea in a book.
