Description
In a decaying America where industry is collapsing under the weight of oppressive regulations, a brilliant railroad executive, Dagny Taggart, struggles to keep her company and the nation's economy from total ruin. As the country's most productive minds mysteriously vanish, she embarks on a desperate search for a legendary industrialist named John Galt, who may hold the key to the nation's salvation or its ultimate destruction. This epic novel explores the fundamental conflict between the producers and the looters, the individual and the collective, and the power of reason against the forces of irrationality. Ayn Rand's masterpiece is a profound examination of capitalism, individualism, and the moral code of productive achievement.
