Product Description
At last, Ayn Rand’s masterpiece is available to her millions of loyal readers in trade paperback.
With this acclaimed work and its immortal query, “Who is John Galt?”, Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers.
Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the … More >>
I’m currently writing a novel titled “Atlas Hugged” that shows the creators of the world being nice and giving, instead of being selfish. It’s just what’s need, along with Howard Dean, to save this country. I hope that when Ayn Rand writes her next novel, she tones it down a bit and shows some compassion. Hey Ayn, it would also be nice to include God and family in your next novel. Duh!
Go Howard Dean!

Rand masks a fascist philosophy with an argument against socialism. If you choose to read this self-righteous snooze fest feel free but in the real world (assuming you decide to model your life ala objectivism) you can’t do it.

Atlas Shrugged is a profound intellectual journey that is interlaced with a can’t-put-it-down mystery action story.
I’ve read and listened to this great novel many times. And each time I enjoy it more because I understand it on a deeper level. If you rush through this book, you are really doing yourself a great disservice. Take your time and think about what you are reading. You will be changed for the better if you do.

Written by an atheist, this is one of the most insidious and diabolically anti-Christian book ever written. Satan couldn’t have done a better job of attacking Christian principles. Like wandering through the maze mind of a sociopath, it’s one of the most repetitive, repulsive and boring books ever written
If you liked Mein Kempf, you’ll love Atlas Shrugged.

This book exemplifies the propaganda that the wealthy use to justify their excesses. The most productive members of society are in fact the common laborers who make up about 90% of society. They are your factory workers, your Wal-Mart associates, the people who grow the food and who actually build things. They are the people who make $10 per hour so that CEOs and socialites can sit around and count their millions-billions. This book constitutes a threat by the elites to go on strike and stop spending money if the government attempts to interfere to improve the lot of the majority. People are interested in this book because American society is struggling with this problem at present. This is a perfect time for government to begin to set some rules to level the playing field (for example by taxing all accumulated wealth instead of workers’ hard-earned income) and to fire up the printing presses to help working citizens. These people will spend the money that they receive instead of hoarding it like the banks are currently doing. Ultimately, the massive government spending of WWII killed the depression and there is no reason to think that it can’t get us out of a relatively small recession.
