Sales of the Ayn Rand masterpiece, "Atlas Shrugged" are thru the roof. Year to date, the book sales numbers have tripled in 2009, compared to 2008. A friend just went to our local bookstore to buy copy, and the clerk told her that there was a waiting list, but that they were ordering them as fast as they could. She asked her if one of the local colleges was using the book, and the clerk said "no".
The economic turmoil that Ms Rand described seems to be eerily coming true. As equally scary, the economic "solutions" our government is currently proposing are nearly identical to the ones that ultimately destroy society in her books.
