AtlasShrugged - Now More Than Ever

Atlas raised his eyebrows - Megan McArdle:

"Perhaps predictibly, Ayn Rand is making a comeback on the right, with Congressmen handing out her books, and loose talk of rich people 'Going Galt'.

I don't think that we will see a mass exodus of productive people to secret hideouts. I look to Atlas Shrugged more for conveniently totable beach reading than an economic blueprint. What's interesting to me, though, is how many details Rand did get right--like the markets in 'unfreezing' Ukrainian bank deposits, so similar to the frozen railroad bonds of Atlas Shrugged. Or the cascading and unanticipated failures, with government officials racing to slap another fix on to fix the last failing solution.

She was able to describe these things so well, of course, because she'd seen what an economy looked like while it was being wrecked. All of Rand's writing is dominated by the fact that she lived through the birth pangs of Soviet Russia, and saw her family's business destroyed by Lenin's ideology, and extraordinarily incompetent economic management. Her philosophy does not work, at least if by work we mean generate a framework by which a person or society can order itself. But she was actually a really very gifted observer, and she had a quite subtle understanding of how all the interconnected elements of an industrial economy fit together.

Keep reading the book, son.

These signs are popping up all over America as people come out to protest the Trillion dollar generational theft being propagated by Congress. And please, stop talking about it being "inherited". These thieves have run Congress and the Senate for the past two years, and failed to work on a 2009 budget until Obama came to power. They now own the 2009 1.5 Trillion dollar deficit.

Keep reading Eric. The book is 52 years old and still very relevant.
