Why you should read Atlas Shrugged

It’s not only an inspiration to countless successful businesspeople, entrepreneurs and world leaders, but it’s perhaps the most inspirational, controversial, eye-opening book you’ll ever read (except for The Bible in my view). 

It’s really the celebration of freedom, the individual and the joy of creating something valuable — of realizing the power that you as an individual carries.  On the other hand, it also demonstrates how easily that can be exploited or taken away, not by “greed” in the monetary sense, but by those who abuse their power and really have nothing to offer the world.
