I enjoyed your review but I disagree with your observation (and the book’s) that, as you wrote, “every subsequent intervention causes more misery and destruction.” The consensus (for the most part) seems to be that the stimulus is helping (and no, I’m not just getting that from people in the current administration). If the big companies had been allowed to fail, and our economy had suffered an even bigger crisis than it is feeling at the moment, I doubt anyone would have praised the laissez-faire philosophy of John Galt and Ayn Rand. However, the book is definitely entertaining, if not philosophically airtight.

I wouldn’t describe myself as either an objectivist or a libertarian but I love this review. It’s really interesting, fun to read, and certainly makes me more interested in Ayn Rand.

You guys should do more reviews!

Excellent review! Pithy and leaves me dying to read it. I’m starting with The Fountainhead since it’s a little less daunting. Very excited to read Atlas Shrugged.

Found your website through the Collegiate Network website. Keep up the good work!
