It looks like the book was actually used in this article, however took things stylized in fiction as the take home points for the book.

- 1Posted by straightlinelogic 10 years, 6 months agoIf I had more time and the inclination, I would go through this article and untangle the arguably valid criticisms from the invalid. However, it amounts to a fly swatting exercise and I've got better things to do. As with virtually all criticsms of Rand, I see nothing that passes for a rational critique of her philosophy, as delineated in Galt's speech. It is for that philosophy that I have read and reread Atlas Shrugged. As a writer, I respectfully part company with Maphesdus's assessement of AS as "beautiful poetry." Much of Rand's writing is turgid and repetitive, in my opinion, but that's a subjective point and there are a few passages of her writing I consider literature.Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink|
