Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus, which launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon. Atlas Shrugged emerged as a premier moral apologia for capitalism, a defense that had an electrifying effect on millions of readers (and now listeners) who have never heard capitalism defended in other than technical terms.

This was my introduction to Rand's Objectivism. I love books that challenge the roots of my philosophical existence. Bravo. I will now continue to read her other works. She's added a new dimension to my life which demands reconciliation.
Personal Note: I would love to see Rand,Chopra, and C.S. Lewis in a philosophical cage match.
WARNING: If you accept Rand's challenge to "live" then you'll start down a road few will want to follow. You'll seem hyper critical and elitist to those who choose not to think. You may find yourself in a world of black and white that mystics and moochers and looters will label as "insensitive" and "narrow minded". Upon first glance Objectivism seems to be a non-religious fundamentalism for which only the brave will truly consider. Let the journey begin!

For many centuries, the world of Islam was at the forefront of human achievement: the foremost military and economic power in the world, the leader in the arts and sciences of civilization. Christian Europe, a remote land beyond its northwestern frontier, was seen as an outer darkness of barbarism and unbelief from which there was nothing to learn or to fear.

The book starts and ends well, but looses its potency in between. I bought the book after seeing Mr. Lewis on CSPAN book review. Let's just say that his CSPAN interview provided more information in a lot less time. I do recognize Mr. Lewis as a western expert on Islam and I will continue to buy his books. I would recommend Karen Armstrong, however, to those who want more substance and a broader understanding.
