Atlas Shrugged, The Audience fell asleep

If you have followed me for a while you probably already know that I am somewhat of a fan and critic of the work of Ayn Rand. I love her stories, and her economic policies, but her stance on religion and refusal to admit she could be wrong? Eh, not so much. Still, list Atlas Shrugged among my all-time favorite books. Not just because of its central theme of economic liberty, but because of the near prophetic way she predicted what business life in America would be like 50 years before we got here. More troubling is her dire predictions about how much worse things will get if we do not change course now.
