I'm still kind of asking myself the same thing. He has some pretty strong feelings and makes some strong statements in some of these articles.
I guess his thinking is that the Fed is not "actually" a governmental body.
I don't think you go to these secret meetings with Rand, write articles, and then just 'forget' what you've believed half your life to become the Fed President.
The better question may be since America is more of a mixed economy, how he even got to be the Fed president when his thoughts and feelings on the economy were published in writing.
