This well-loved copy of Ayn Rand’s magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged, is a testament to the enduring impact of her controversial philosophy of Objectivism. Published in 1957, the novel’s exploration of individualism, capitalism, and the role of the state sparked heated debates that continue to this day. Rand’s unapologetic defense of self-interest and her portrayal of industrialists as heroic figures challenged conventional wisdom and inspired a generation of free-market advocates. While polarizing, her ideas have left an indelible mark on political and economic discourse. This mass-market paperback edition, with its worn cover and sturdy binding, speaks to the book’s widespread readership and its status as a touchstone in the ongoing dialogue about individual liberty and the proper role of government. For collectors and readers alike, this copy offers a tangible connection to one of the most influential and divisive works of 20th-century literature.
