John Galt Lives!
Manage episode 333540030 series 2930583
The life story of Ayn Rand reads much like one of her block buster novels, except for the unhappy ending. In "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged", the main female and male characters, one of whom is John Galt, become heroines and heroes, rhapsodizing with spectacular literary, political and philosophical statements. In real life, Ayn Rand, the queen of extreme capitalism, passed away with lung cancer while surviving on social assistance. But, according to Lisa Duggan, a professor at New York University and author of "Mean Girl: Ayn Rand and Neoliberal Greed", Rand's cultural and political influence should not be dismissed. Her ideologies continue to have a global impact to this present day.
