I also don't mind Atlas Shrugged.

Rand could have used an editor but there are tons and tons of books out there written from a crazy left wing point of view. I think it's completely fair to have one famous book out there written from a crazy right wing point of view.

The story itself is actually sort of interesting. I think Dagby Taggert is wrong in the conclusions she draws, but I like her as a character and I can see how a person raised in the way she was would come to those conclusions.

The main problem with Atlas Shrugged was that it was written in a time when capital was created through industrialization and did not anticipate a time when capital would be created by service and information.
