Its been 50 years since one of the most influential books
ever was written: “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand.

Entrepreneurs and businessmen love it and it has become one
of the most influential books ever (2nd after the Bible) because
it presents selfishness, individuality and the pursuit of profit,
the essence of business, as profoundly moral.

unknown. The christian-altruist allucinatory consensus is hard to
