Atlas Shrugged Comes to Detroit

Must re-read the book. Way too much similarity to today's politics.

I'm almost finished with the book. It's been shocking and creepy how what she wrote is becoming reality today. Can't pin down whether I think Obumber is Wesley Mouch or Mr. Thompson (I like the way Wikipedia describes this character and similarities to the current POTUS:screwy:).

Yeh, it's a good example.

I have never read this book. Will have to put it on my list.

The book is a good primer. I also highly recommend Human Action by Von Mises and The Road to Serfdom by Hayek. I've spent some free time over the last week re-watching the Free to Choose series by Milton Friedman on You Tube. There are also some good interviews of Friedman and Rand on You Tube from Donahue, or Donaspew as I call him, from the late 70's.

As a classical liberal, I find they made many observations or predictions, based on general tendencies of the time, that have proven to be as true now as they were then.
