Description

THE ECONOMIST recently reported that Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged, first published in 1957, is back on the bestseller lists. A week before the president's inauguration, more people were buying it than Obama's Audacity of Hope. For the uninitiated, Atlas explores a future world in which the nation's economy is collapsing because of government interference. The theme developed out of Rand's own era: she started planning her novel in 1943, in the midst of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. But it's no wonder that it seems relevant today. New Deal activism, which was principally responsible for prolonging the Great Depression, guides our current economic stimulators.
