Book Discussion: Atlas Shrugged (1957)

For our next meeting, we will discuss "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. The novel has been cited as an influence on a variety of libertarian and conservative thinkers and politicians. It is on the longer side, so we will have longer time to read it.

Book blurb:
This novel presents an astounding panorama of human life — from the productive genius who becomes a worthless playboy — to the great steel industrialist who does not know that he is working for his own destruction — to the philosopher who becomes a pirate — to the composer who gives up his career on the night of his triumph — to the woman who runs a transcontinental railroad — to the lowest track worker in her Terminal tunnels.
