One of the 20th century's most challenging novels of ideas, The Fountainhead champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion.

The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world's collapse. This was the view of Ayn Rand, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constituted a major philosophic revolution. In this series of essays, she presented her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the default of conservatism, and the evils of altruism.

In The Fiat Standard, world-renowned economist Saifedean Ammous applies his unique analytical lens to the fiat monetary system, explaining it as a feat of engineering and technology just as he did for bitcoin in his global best seller The Bitcoin Standard. This time, Ammous delves into the world's earlier shift from the gold standard to today's system of government-backed fiat money—outlining the fiat standard's purposes and failures; deriving the wider economic, political, and social implications of its use; and examining how bitcoin will affect it over time.

Histoire
Who needs philosophy? Ayn Rand's answer: Everyone. This collection of essays was the last work planned by Ayn Rand before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her view of philosophy and deals with a broad spectrum of topics. According to Ayn Rand, the choice we make is not whether to have a philosophy, but which one to have: a rational, conscious, and therefore practical one, or a contradictory, unidentified, and ultimately lethal one.

The Naked Communist has sold almost two million copies. It found its way into the libraries of the CIA, the FBI, the White House, and homes all across America and the world. The Naked Communist contains a distillation of more than a hundred books and treatises on communism, many written by Marxist authors. We see the communist the way he sees himself - stripped of propaganda and pretense. Explained here is the amazing appeal of communism, its history, and its basic and unchanging concepts.

When Money Dies is the classic history of what happens when a nations currency depreciates beyond recovery. In 1923, with its currency effectively worthless (the exchange rate in December of that year was one dollar to 4,200,000,000,000 marks), the German republic was all but reduced to a barter economy. Expensive cigars, artworks, and jewels were routinely exchanged for staples such as bread; a cinema ticket could be bought for a lump of coal; and a bottle of paraffin for a silk shirt....

Some say that this work, found in a safe-box in the port area of Kowloon, was dictated because Bronze Age Pervert refuses to learn what he calls "the low and plebeian art of writing". It isn't known how this work was transcribed. The contents are pure dynamite. He explains that you live in ant farm. That you are observed by the lords of lies, ritually probed. Ancient man had something you have lost: confidence in his instincts and strength, knowledge in his blood. BAP shows how the Bronze Age mind-set can set you free from this iron prison and help you embark on the path of power.

Description
Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club.
This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world - and did. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he fight his hardest battle not against his enemies, but against the woman he loves?
Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus and 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 had never heard capitalism defended in other than technical terms.

brilliantly written, so brilliantly misguided.
she try so hard to write an ironclad argument in favor of an unsupportable View. had she turned to either history or to a modicum of anthropology she would have seen where her error fell. it's not to say there aren't many worthy ideas to be found under the Avalanche of narrative, it's just that the very fate of our planet and it's imminent destruction through climate change Etc was brought about buy the one factor she ignores, greed. she glorifies it and yet it's real world impact is undeniable. I'm glad I read this book, but I will not be reading it ever again. it is passionately delusional while trying to be rigorously realistic. buy her own claims, this is the essence of folly.

I promised a friend I’d read it
I was criticizing Rand’s work without having read it. A friend encouraged me to at least read it. I have now read it and can criticize Rand’s work after having read it. :)
Ok, it wasn’t as bad as I expected but it was so much worse than what I had hoped. This work is so characterized it’s laughable in most circumstances ( although there’s more than one moment in this book that is downright chilling).
About half way through reading Atlas, it occurred to me that if Rand were writing today, it would likely be for the Babylon Bee.
Was it all bad, no but there are far more effective and efficient ways to get a lesson on personal accountability and work ethic.

The beginning is slow, but as you continue to read and follow the characters your swept away as your beliefs and doctrine are challenged over every mile of track. A must read for the youth of today, a glimpse into a world that could very well come to life!

A enjoyable novel but with some deep low points.
Firstly, this is an enormously long novel. The print copy is 1168 pages (usually put into 3 volumes), and this audiobook is 52 hours long. It is almost comical to say that I mostly enjoyed the first 40-some hours. 52 hours is like 6 seasons of television and most tv series are in obvious decline by the 6th season, so what are the chances that any person would write such an immense novel that doesn't wane in parts? Let's have reasonable expectations and accept some natural human variance, nobody can keep up a pace for this long.
Atlas Shrugged is an interesting 1957 period piece and American dystopian novel in which Ayn Rand paints a picture of American declinism from her own laissez-faire, classic liberalist, objectivist perspective. I don't think a reader needs to sympathize too much with Rand's beliefs to enjoy this exploration, but late in the story Rand sets down a soap box and goes on a speel takes the relatable themes that had been established over so many chapters and distills them all into a narrow, yet convoluted and strawmanning diatribe that lasts 2 hours. I found the novel to be a cheesy slog from the climax onward, it's like the story's facade fell away, leaving bare the thin caricatures Rand wrote as characters to populate a laborious and drawn out conclusion.
I wouldn't say that Rand totally spoiled her novel by launching into her sermon on rational and ethical egoism at a critical narrative moment but it is a low point, but the last leg of the marathon that is Atlas Shrugged is by far the weakest part of the novel. Where she could have used her cleverness and aptitude, Rand undermined her novel with self indulgent philosophical preachiness, static characters, and tacky action sequences.
Still, it is quite a story. Rand writes from an interesting angle, she supplies a compelling protagonist (a young and prodigiously industrius woman), a healthy amount of mystery, and well captured settings. The romance is not quite salacious but there is an emphasis on sexuality and desire that some readers may rather do without.
I would say that I am glad to have read, or rather listened, to Atlas Shrugged; it was a thought provoking and mostly enjoyable read ... until the end. Like many books, I will enjoy having read it more than I enjoyed actually reading it.
The narrator does an excellent job, and plays the characters rather distinct from one another.

Essential reading
What an amazing piece of fiction.
A real adventure, somewhere between Indian Jones and 1984. I like this title due to its backbone of industrial dialogue and diagrams. Inventors and hero’s, who’s unmatched energetic prowess shape /change landscape and culture all while being arbitrarily marginalized by the marginal.
A must read for anyone wondering where socialist ideology terminates.
