I am not an anti-capitalist. In fact, I work in a prop trading firm, and Atlas Shrugged is always in my library for a yearly reminder on the direction this world is going.
And I _still_ think this article is a terrible advice. In capitalism, capital is the prime resource, to be gathered and kept. Being an employee is a good start, but I doubt it is a good lifelong strategy.
- socmag 10y agoYou rock! Absolutely, you need Atlas Shrugged on the bookshelf to understand the mess we find ourselves in. The most amazing thing is the hypnotic scam that has been pulled, on us that makes us believe this is all our "lot in life". Thumbs up!
- socmag 10y agoThe downvotes on this really make me chuckle. I guess there are people out there who really believe the individualism in Atlas Shrugged is a model for society? My interpretation is that's darkly satirical humor. Okay Ayn was a genius, but I think she had a sense of humor too. At least that is the way I would like to think of it.
