Title: Atlas Shrugged - A Prophecy?
Review: This is an outstanding work and should be required reading in all high schools and colleges in economics or government courses. The stark delineation between the values of the main camps of characters made it easy to relate to people one would encounter in daily life. It absolutely affirms that exceptionalism is a virtue, not something for which to apologize. Reading through this novel, it was unnerving to see the similarities between the events in the book and the events that are taking place today in the U.S. and the world at large. Several times I put the book down and thought that this could be written about the economy and the socialist path on which the Obama administration has this country. It seems at times that Ayn Rand was writing a prophecy that is unfortunately coming all too true.
Is the review positive or negative?
