Atlas Shrugged has always been especially inspirational to businessmen. Read the testimonials of three executives about how the novel has influenced their personal and professional lives:

“Over the years, I have strongly encouraged our best managers to read Atlas Shrugged. Whether or not one totally agrees with Ayn Rand’s ideas, reading this book forces you to think at a very deep level. Also, Atlas Shrugged provides the best moral defense of capitalism ever written.”

“Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged stands out for its important messages to those of us running companies in America today. Do the right things for the right reasons. Work smart. Drive achievement. Don’t tolerate bureaucracy. Ms. Rand makes clear the straight line that runs from good business practice to the health of our free enterprise system . . . and the strength of our free society.”

“Atlas Shrugged is the most valuable book I have read. Ayn Rand provides profound insight into man’s relationship with society and develops for individuals, and corporations alike, a foundation for living a noble and rewarding life.”
