The incomplete library
Every library should contain a copy of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged...a well read copy of Atlas Shrugged. It is a book that every college graduate should receive and hopefully pick up and read by the time he/she is 40... Once one has some "experience" - one is a qualified reader. What a different world this would create.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

How socialism will destroy the world.
One of the best books I have ever read. It chronicles the decline of the United States, and the world, under socialist policies. These ring as true today as they did when the book was written in 1957.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great read, sister to ‘The Fountainhead’
Great book! I read the paperback, but wanted this in a more permanent hardcover edition. Ms. Rand’s philosophy is taken to extremes in her presentation here, but I largely agree with the sentiment.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
