Objectivism

Interesting article on the study of Ayn Rand and Objectivism on college campuses.  I read Atlas Shrugged for the first time in the fall of 2008 and I honestly could not keep track of what was actually happening in the world and what was happening in the book -- auto company bailouts, steel company bailouts, bank failures, crony capitalism, etc. etc.

I strongly suggest reading this book.  It is frighteningly prophetic.  It is also quite long and repetitive.  I do not subscribe fully to Objectivism, but it serves as a strong argument for the moral virtues of individualism.
