Description

Atlas Shrugged is an epic novel that highlights the struggle between society's producers and its bullies, looters, moochers and mystics that try to force their views on others. Wikipedia has this to say: "In the world of Atlas Shrugged, society stagnates when independent productive achievers began to be socially demonized and even punished for their accomplishments, even though society had been far more healthy and prosperous by allowing, encouraging and rewarding self-reliance and individual achievement."

A study by the Library of Congress found Atlas Shrugged to be the second most influential book in the US, behind only the Bible.

I'm on my third reading and cannot recommend it highly enough!
