Atlas Shrugged (Cliffs Notes) Overview

Who is John Galt? This famous rhetorical question rings through Ayn Rand's best-selling novel as the people's anthem of despair in depressed economic times. Set in the future, the novel follows capitalist magnates as they battle looters, strikers, and the impending ruin of the United States' economy. The romantic and intellectual relationship between Dagny Taggart, the heroine, and John Galt, whose identity as the leader of the strike is eventually revealed, carries the novel to its climax.

This novel, controversial when it first appeared in 1957, purports Rand's objectivist philosophy that the individual is free to pursue his or her own happiness without bowing to God or society. Objectivism in action upholds full laissez-faire capitalism as the only philosophy that can protect humankind's freedom to think, to be inventive, and to live productively.

Atlas Shrugged

Atlas Shrugged Review

This book is one of the most influential books in my life. I read it when I was 16 years old, at a time when I started trying to define my personal philosophy and ethics. I was reading several political philosophy books at the time; Rand's was morally, ethically, and politically incredibly consistent. She is truly a revolutionary genius and for too long has been placed on the sidelines of the so-called intelligentsia. But there are a host of incredibly accomplished thinkers who believe otherwise. This book successfully popularized a complex political and philosophical argument, in a romantic, passionate way. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone interested in THINKING.

Atlas Shrugged Overview

At last, Ayn Rand's masterpiece is available to her millions of loyal readers in trade paperback.

With this acclaimed work and its immortal query, "Who is John Galt?", Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers.

Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of man's spirit.

* Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club

Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC)

Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC) Review

The author seems to be one of those people, like George Orwell (1984), that can read the future based on what they were seeing at the time they write their novels. Her experience watching her homeland come under control of a stiffling government allowed her to see the trends in this country all the way back in the 50's.
Although we, in the USA, do not rely on railroads as much as we did (or should), you can almost plug any industry in this story and it dovetails with no problem. Our government, colleges, and industry leaders have teamed up to destroy the country and books like this help show how it happens. It's a great read but, unfortunately, she was right when she foretold the future of this great country. Highly recommend reading this.
This book will help you learn 'politics' in novel form, therefore not as boring as some of the other non-fiction books out there.

Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC) Overview

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.
