Whittaker Chambers vs. Ayn Rand

Article Link

from the article:

In his review of “Atlas Shrugged,” in “Witness,” . . . Chambers’ work is closely connected with an important and enduring strand in conservative thought -- one that distrusts social engineering and top-down theories, emphasizes the limits of human knowledge, engages with particulars, and tends to favor incremental change. This is the conservatism of Edmund Burke, Michael Oakeshott and Friedrich Hayek.
