This article may have been previously posted, but is worth reviewing again with the movie coming out today. This is written by WSJ senior economics editor Stephen Moore and appeared in the paper January 9 of 2009 a copy of which is found online. The link above is a computer generated audio version of the story. To read the article google "Atlas Shrugged" from fiction to fact 52 years later. It is a nice complimentary piece to the recent Altas Shrugged Now Non Fiction youtube spot and an opportunity to reflect on problems during the financial crisis.
