Product Description
Who is John Galt? This famous rhetorical question rings through Ayn Rand's best-selling novel as the people's anthem of despair in depressed economic times. Set in the future, the novel follows capitalist magnates as they battle looters, strikers, and the impending ruin of the United States' economy. The romantic and intellectual relationship between Dagny Taggart, the heroine, and John Galt, whose identity as the leader of the strike is eventually revealed, carries the novel to its climax. This novel, controversial when it first appeared in 1957, purports Rand's objectivist philosophy that the individual is free to pursue his or her own happiness without bowing to God or society. Objectivism in action upholds full laissez-faire capitalism as the only philosophy that can protect humankind's freedom to think, to be inventive, and to live productively.

Thank goodness for Cliff Notes November 8, 2009
Larry Fryer (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA)
I had forgotten how much I had relied upon Cliff Notes for help during my long academic career. Glenn Beck suggested this book as an important resource for understanding the political mess our country is currently in. When I started to read "Atlas Shrugged," the realization that I was over my head quickly became apparent. This overview and information has greatly helped me enjoy and understand this very valuable classic novel.

An excellant observation and report of Ayn Rand's philosophy relative to characters and theme of the story. Fictional but yet possible.
hoping for a new interest in this book April 20, 2009

I am re reading the 1100 page book that I read over 40 years ago. I find it to be such an important commentary on what is happening to my country today. In order to interest my grand children in what this book has to offer, I ordered the Cliff Notes for them. Hopefully they will garner interest from these notes to at least pursue learning more about who was John Galt, and what Ayn Rand had to say that is so important today. Hopefully wiser heads will prevail and no movie will be made, but a dvd or a series for TV.
Great ! April 4, 2009
