Atlas Shrugged (three volumes in one book)
Quote "I swear by my life and love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."
Ayn Rand
What is the book about?
Socialists come to power in the USA,...
and the government takes a course towards "equal opportunity," believing it fair to make the useless and talentless wealthy at the expense of the talented and affluent. Persecution of business leads to the destruction of the economy, and one by one, talented people and the best entrepreneurs begin to disappear under mysterious circumstances. The main characters of the novel, steel king Hank Rearden and the vice president of a railroad company Dagny Taggart, futilely attempt to resist the tragic events. Instead of universal prosperity, society plunges into apathy and chaos.
This is a worldview-changing book, it forms a holistic vision of the world and provides answers to questions about the meaning of human life and the social significance of entrepreneurship.
