RE: Ayn Rand: Atlas Shrugged
Rand spent most of her life slagging off altruism. Altruism means being kind to people. Hers is a philosophy of nastiness and selfishness. Anyone who supports that must, ipso facto, be a genuinely objectionable person. The book can be easily summarised:Everyone else is wrong: Ayn Rand is the only person who is right. A characteristic she shares with Marx, Hitler, and any other fundamentalist you care to mention.
All the misguided people i.e. everyone who isn't Ayn Rand, has to be punished by lecturing them in interminably boring speeches that go on and on and on for about one hundred pages and have only one point - I've got more money than you, Ha Ha Ha!
And she is a truly abysmal writer
