Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" is a dystopian novel published in 1957 that tells the story of a world where individualism and the pursuit of self-interest have been suppressed and all decisions are made by the government. The book is set in the United States during the 1950s and features characters from various industries who go on strike in an attempt to turn the tide against government intervention.
The story follows the protagonist, Dagny Taggart, who is the vice president of Taggart Transcontinental, a railroad company. Dagny is a staunch supporter of capitalism and individualism, and she is frustrated by the growing government regulation of the economy. As she struggles to keep her company afloat, she encounters John Galt, a mysterious figure who is the leader of the strike movement.
The novel explores themes of individualism, free market capitalism, and the value of human achievement. It has been highly influential in American politics and economics, and is often cited by libertarians and conservatives as a touchstone for their ideologies. Despite being controversial and divisive, "Atlas Shrugged" continues to be widely read and debated today.
