Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand: I love to hate you
www.economist.com/finance/displayStory.cfm?story_id=13185404&source=hptextfeature
Apparently, Atlas Shrugged is seeing a boom due to what people are viewing as a turn to socialism by the Obama administration.
I personally do not agree with Rand's theory of enlightened self interest - and in fact, I think her own theory is inconsistent in the book. Regardless, this is a must read classic. Given today's environment, it does talk about the perils of having government step in and the mediocrity that can be an unintended consequence.
Love it or hate it, just read it!
