Atlas Shrugged Turns 55
Today is the 55th anniversary of Ayn Rand’s masterpiece Atlas Shrugged. If you haven’t read this book, there is no better time to read it. If you have read it, maybe it’s time to re-read it.
In the meantime, here’s my favorite article on Atlas Shrugged, Onkar Ghate’s “Atlas Shrugged: America’s Second Declaration of Independence.” (PDF)
Those of you seeking a graduate-level understanding of the novel might want to start with Onkar’s “Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Edition of Atlas Shrugged.” (PDF)

I take it the last scene is poor old Dagny being helped out of the plane wreckage.
