I wonder if anyone in DoL has read the book?
Best Non-fiction. Board chose "The Education of Henry Adams." Readers chose "The Virtue of Selfishness."

Best Fiction. Board chose "Ulysses" and "The Great Gatsby". Readers chose "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead."

then they rejected it later when they were just foolish
Not only Atlas Shrugged but Anthem are on it, so is Milton Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom, and Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt.
I see some rubbish too. I did not know that the Webbs were influential in America (industrial Democracy), if so their book has a place as its proposition has been wiped out by subsequent events.
Benjamin Weingarten,
Publishing Manager at The Blaze
"Atlas Shrugged . . . takes place in a dystopian U.S., one where industrial leaders disappear, depriving the government of their taxes and eliminating the livelihoods they sustained."
So that's the ultimate moral purpose of Dagny, Rearden, D'Anconia, Galt, et al.: to pay taxes in order to sustain the livelhoods of those who live on those taxes!
And to think I had it wrong all these years . . .
