My comment from an old posting (Ayn Rand in New Delhi)
Must read, The Contested Legacy of Ayn Rand: Truth and Toleration
Ayn Rand spent her life constructing a free market utopia in which recent events (sub-prime mortgage, default swap swindles, housing bubble) could never happen. As someone wrote 'Ayn Rand capitalists don’t even need unions – they treat their workers so well that a union movement would be pointless'. No one who reads her wants to feel like a drone (wouldn't you rather be John Galt or Francisco D’Anconia?). It is important to employ critical thinking when reading such books and remember the Philosophy propounded in them is just an opinion for you to consider and not a set of unbreakable rules.
My favorite quote:
> There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs. — John Rogers
