Atlas Shrugged  |Capitalism  | “One of the first books every business major at Campbell [University] is assigned to read is Ayn Rand’s ‘Atlas Shrugged,’” [Adthea] Collins said. “For some, it may be a little bit dry, not that it’s a bad story or anything but the philosophy of it can seem like it’s a little bit over your head. For a business major, it really explains a lot of things.” The book is one of the best selling pieces of American literature, and depicts a collision course between individualism and production and collectivism and bureaucracy. It launched Collins into her new understanding of the country’s economic plight, and she now believes the most essential foundation of this nation’s existence is property rights. She defines property rights as “the right to keep and enjoy the fruits of your labor.”      View blog reactions
