Ayn Rand And The World She Made by Anne C. Heller

Posted on September 22, 2009 by mheusler

I think that Atlas Shrugged is one of the greatest stories and political commentaries of all time. I dare you to read it and come out either a socialist or communist. It is kryptonite to the asinine arguments of Marx, Lenin and Che Guevara (and if you are wearing his shirt please remember that your [...]
