- octonion 11y agoThat's a new phenomena, and wven so it can hardly be said to have "shaped America". If you disagree, in what ways has it done so?
- gpvos 11y agoThe "second most influential" claim originates from 1994, source: http://www.noblesoul.com/orc/books/rand/atlas/faq.html#Q6.4 http://www.noblesoul.com/orc/books/rand/atlas/faq.html#Q6.4 I think big companies have shaped American culture a lot. Here's something from 2002 about Rand's influence, but Googling around easily turns up more: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/2002-09-23-ayn-rand_x.htm http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/20...
- gutnor 11y agoYet the Bible is not in the list. Edit: Oh, I get it - the Bible is not written by an American so it cannot make it into the list of American books. Could have used a hint with the downvote.
