Economics in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged [pdf]
I find very little merit or pleasure in reading fiction where the author has an underlying agenda which they constantly grind as the novel progresses (I find some of Le Guin&#x27;s otherwise good novels marred by this trend). Ayn Rand is absolutely the worst offender though, her characters are shallow to the point of ridiculousness, the plot is obvious 100 pages in for the next 500 - but she&#x27;s going to serve up &#x27;profound world changing philosophy&#x27; to you for the next 500 pages anyways. But hey - America&#x27;s answer to communist ideology!
