Book Reviews of Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC)

Book Review: why/how non producers obtain rulership
Summary: 5 Stars

I'd heard about Atlas Shrugged in the late 60s & early 70s when I was in college. I just now listened to the unabridged audio version.

I worked in industry for over 34 years and in that setting saw, but never understood well, how better people (producers, people with actual knowledge and abilities) would/could be marginalized (even fired) by lesser folk.

It seems there is an impulse in a segment of the population who 'must rule'. They are driven to control others often to the detriment of the enterprise. They gravitate into positions of authority (management in industry, politics in society).

I had a particularly onerous experience with city/state government when I attempted to repair a modest balcony on my house (existing approximately 30 years). My experience could have been a chapter in Atlas Shrugged.

The take away is that there are two types of people in the world: the ruled and the rulers. The rulers may not have the best interest of the ruled in mind (usually don't).

Summary of Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC)

The year 2005 marks Ayn Rand's Centennial Year.

The astounding story of a man that said that he would stop the motor of the world-and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is unlike any other book you have ever read.
