Atlas Shrugged: What happens to the world when the great brains of the world disappear? No one knows where they've gone. Have they retired? Run away? Are they on strike or been kidnapped? Dagny Taggert, a great industrialist and the main character of this book, is trying to run a railroad but at each turn she finds incompetent fools are taking the place of the brilliant men and women who have gone missing. The times become dimmer and dimmer and the government steps in more and more. You can imagine what happens. This book is a story that was written by a philosopher, and so you will learn about Ayn Rand's beliefs as you read it. You don't have to agree with her philosphy to enjoy this book. Be prepared - it is a large novel, and I'm not just referring to the number of pages! SG
