Atlas Shrugged is the “second most influential book for Americans today” after the Bible, according to a joint survey of five thousand people conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club in 1991.
In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts?
This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world—and did. In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, he sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battle not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? The answers will be revealed once you discover the reason behind the baffling events that wreak havoc on the lives of the amazing men and women in this remarkable book.
Tremendous in scope and breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s magnum opus, which launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon. Atlas Shrugged emerged as a premier moral apologia for Capitalism, a defense that had an electrifying effect on millions of readers (and now listeners).

Viktig bok, men skriver läsaren på näsan med självklarheter. Borde vara obligatorisk läsning i skolan tillsammans med gulagarkipilagen.

Böckernas bok, helt enkelt. Utgiven på 1950-talet och ändå beskriver den dagens samhällskollaps alldeles för nära. Jag önskar bara att det faktiskt fanns en John Galt.

En klassiker som de flesta borde ta sig igenom. Den har inspirerat fler än du tror även om det hela är ganska utdraget. Läs den för det är den värd. Den sätter många tankar i rörelse.

Fantastisk bok. Verkligen måste-läsning och högaktuell idag. Och vem är egentligen Elon M…jag menar John Galt?

Värdelös inspelning med konstant mummel (från annan inlärningsstudio?) i bakgrunden.
