Atlas Shrugged is like Shakespeare for the businessperson.
The novel recounts a battle for–as oxymoronic as it sounds–the soul of the U.S. economy. On one side are the “producers,” who use brain or brawn to invent, to create wealth and change the world. On the other side are “looters” and “moochers”: academics, government officials, and underachievers seeking to live off the sweat of others
