As of today, the first day of February 2013, Atlas Shrugged the novel is selling extremely well. Their Amazon Best Sellers Rank is: #4,247


That is very good. What this means is that every person who reads this book will at least be thinking about the themes, and this alone will cause change in the future. The book sold well prior to Obama's presidency, but since 2008 and the release of the two films, sales have been fantastic. So this is good news that does not appear to be faultering any time soon.

      That number means sales are still very good after many years of stable sales. While some might worry that Obama and his minions will always rule with executive orders, Atlas sales mean that slowly people are learning. When a book sees those kinds of sustained sales over a long period of time, the social impact is forthcoming. To maintain a large number like that it means that lots of people outside our group here, and a few objectivist groups are still buying.

      It was just something I noticed today when I was going through rankings for other titles. I can see without context how it might not be seen as impressive, but it is.
