About this product
Product Information
Atlas Shrugged is the second most influential book for Americans today after the Bible, according to a joint survey of five thousand people conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club in 1991. In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts? This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, he sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battle not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? The answers will be revealed once you discover the reason behind the baffling events that wreak havoc on the lives of the amazing men and women in this remarkable book. Tremendous in scope and breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus, which launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon. Atlas Shrugged emerged as a premier moral apologia for capitalism, a defense that had an electrifying effect on millions of readers (and now listeners) who had never heard capitalism defended in other than technical terms.Product Identifiers

ReviewsAyn Rand is destined to rank in history as the outstanding novelist and most profound philosopher of the twentieth century., Atlas Shrugged is not merely a novel. It is also--or may I say: first of all--a cogent analysis of the evils that plague our society., Narrator Scott Brick takes listeners on a journey so extraordinary they'll hardly notice the book's length. While his performance offers little in the way of theatrics, Brick is capable of garnering sympathy and, perhaps most importantly, devout attention for Rand's plot and characters. On the surface, Brick's voice is a cool, unrelenting force determined to capture every facet of Rand's complex story. But amid his calm and collected delivery, he taps into a more colorful emotional palette that will keep listeners involved. Brick's subtle delivery holds far more than meets the ear., Countless individuals working to secure liberty have found inspiration in the works of Ayn Rand. With her unique ability to depict heroism, idealism, and romance behind the creativity of the individual, Rand inspires readers to come to the defense of free minds and free markets.

Who is John Galt?
This is likely the best story I have ever read. It is intelligent, entertaining, and beautifully written. For any who have ever looked at the world and wondered why so many people seem driven to destroy, to ruin the great accomplishments of those who came before them, and to drag down into the mud any who dare to rise to greatness, this is the story which will finally make it clear. What would happen to the world if the great producers, the idea men and women, the inventors and creators, went on strike? What would happen if those individuals, despised for their capacity for producing wealth by the very people who depend on that wealth's production for survival, suddenly quit? Herein lies the answer. First published in 1957, and written based on observations and logical predictions of the world of that time, this story is frighteningly accurate as a picture of the world as it is today. Many of the extrapolated extremes to which the society of this work of fiction descend have become realities. How far, then, can we really be from fulfilling the rest of what was surely never originally meant to be a work of prophecy?Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
