Well, I read Ayn Rand's universally beloved Atlas Frowned again, and let me tell you, it seems to get better every time I read it. As the cornerstone of both her philosophy of Altruism and the Altruist Movement that took the Western world by storm from the '60s onward, we owe so much to this gold nugget of a novel.
What does everyone else think of both the book and the woman who led our civilization to its current utopian state, where generosity, compassion, and concern for the welfare of others is the cultural, economic, and political norm?
