To the list that includes Gödel‘s incompleteness theorem and the Law of Quadratic Reciprocity, we can now add Rand’s Rule: There is an inverse relationship between economic growth in general, and the sales of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.
The ‘Rand Resurgence’ has been the topic of several recent media reports (see here and here), and reflects the timelessness of Rand’s message. It’s not just in the US that Shrugged is having an impact. Atlas Global Initiative partner www.waubebas.org is holding a Freedom Academy this coming May 1-3 in Penang, Malaysia, during which participants will “analyze ideas around entrepreneurship and free market capitalism presented in Atlas Shrugged, to explore their relevance to the current economic situation.”
