Who is John Galt?
- cheald 13y agoI get that a terse Rand quote doesn't really garner much respect, but there's a point here undeserving of the downvotes - the government is effectively saying that Mr. Levison should be forced to remain in business for the sole purpose of serving the government's interests (by threatening to arrest and prosecute him for the action of going out of business) - a circumstance which is depicted as one of rings in the downward spiral of the crumbling dystopia in Atlas Shrugged.
- dragonwriter 13y agoI don't think anyone downvoting the GP failed to get the point of the quote. I think they were downvoting based on the perceived value of reference (whether GPs terse one or your verbose one) to Rand's novel in the discussion.
