Either you like the philosphy of this book or you will hate but you can’t able to neglet this one.It’s about captalism and reccession make this book more relevant in current scenario.

This book supports to be selfish and winner take it all is main theme what I got from this book and from whole Ayn rand philosophy(which is called Objectivism).

Best lines from the book: “Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter.”

The theme of Atlas Shrugged, as Rand described it, is “the role of man’s mind in existence.” The book explores a number of philosophical themes that Rand would subsequently develop into the philosophy of Objectivism. It advocates the core tenets of Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism and expresses her concept of human achievement. In doing so it expresses many facets of Rand’s philosophy, such as the advocacy of reason, individualism, the market economy and the failure of government coercion.

Atlas Shrugged received largely negative reviews after its 1957 publication, but achieved enduring popularity and consistent sales in the following decades. In the wake of the late 2000s recession sales of Atlas Shrugged have sharply increased, according to The Economist magazine and The New York Times. The Economist reported that the fifty-two-year-old novel ranked #33 among Amazon.com’s top-selling books .The novel has been seen as highly influential in conservative and libertarian circles.
