You're close but you're missing the entire point of the book. The industrialists DONT want to carry the weight of the world. Everyone else wants them to.
The entire point of the book is that the world pushes the weight on them and they shrug it off. You can't just force a group of people to save the world.
I'm not really sure why that's a controversial idea. If you keep being a jerk to someone they won't want to help you.
- CPLX 6y agoI’ve read the book. The entire point of it appears to be that rich elitist people like Ayn Rand’s Russian family was should be worshiped and loved by everyone and are the only people that matter and they should just be allowed to own all the property and exploit people because it’s “better” and also amphetamines are awesome because you can use 4,651 words to say something that could be accomplished with a single sentence.
