Sophia Blackwell

In "Atlas Struggled," Sophia Blackwell delivers a hilarious and scathing takedown of Ayn Rand, the failed screenwriter who somehow convinced generations of insecure men that being selfish isn't just acceptable—it's the highest moral virtue.
With her signature blend of merciless mockery and genuine insight, Blackwell dissects Rand's life and philosophy, revealing how a Russian immigrant with a persecution complex created a "philosophical" system that's really just elaborate justification for being terrible to other people. You'll discover:

How Rand abandoned her own children while writing a 1,000-page novel about the evils of "moochers"

Why "Atlas Shrugged" features a 60-page monologue that's essentially "me first!" dressed up in fancy language

How Rand created a cult of personality while claiming to champion individualism

Why her most devoted follower, Alan Greenspan, helped crash the global economy by applying her ideas

The bizarre psychology that makes Objectivism irresistible to mediocre men who want to feel special without doing anything special

Whether you're a recovering Objectivist, someone who's been forced to debate a Rand enthusiast, or just enjoy watching bad ideas get the roasting they deserve, this book provides the perfect antidote to Rand's toxic philosophy. Blackwell doesn't just explain why Rand's ideas are wrong—she shows how they've poisoned our politics, economics, and culture for decades.

By the end, you'll understand why a philosophy that claims to champion human flourishing has created so much human suffering—and you'll be equipped with the intellectual ammunition to fight back against Rand's continuing influence.
