We live, right now, in an information rich environment and have more opportunities than ever in the history of mankind. Atlas puts this into words and ideas that work in any time period....Atlas in is not for everybody, not for the masses that seem to follow each other into eternal normality...one does not have to have an education or high IQ to get the Atlas idea...just a desire....
I think it may be a good time to read, listen and review it again....
As a novel, it is an action-packed, suspenseful story in which the forces of good and evil meet in an ever-growing conflict of values, ideas and actions. Twists and turns of the plot keep you wondering who will win and how the issues will be resolved. A background mystery keeps you wondering what hidden impact it will have on the story. A great, entertaining read!
The book is much more than an enjoyable work of fiction, however. It looks at political systems, evaluates the true measures of a free society and examines the potential for corruption in the system. It teaches valuable lessons about the nature and key requirements of a free market. It also illustrates the flawed execution when altruism creeps into Capitalism. It is a great primer for basic business principles. Finally it presents a social, moral and life philosophy based on strong convictions about living one’s life with absolute integrity.
This work contains critical lessons for our times. It is a book to be read and re-read both for enjoyment and for continued examination of the ideas.
