Inspired by Ayn Rand's characters in Atlas Shrugged and The
Fountainhead, penetrating profiles of both the innovators who move
our world forward and those who seek to destroy the achievement of
others
John Galt, the fictional character from Ayn Rand's bestselling
novel, Atlas Shrugged, has come to embody the individualist
capitalist who acts in his own enlightened self interest, and in
doing so lifts the world around him. Some of today's most
successful CEOs, journalists, sports figures, actors, and thinkers
have led their lives according to Galt's (i.e., Rand's)
philosophy.
Now, in I Am John Galt, these inspiring stories are
gathered with the keen insight and analysis of well-known market
commentator Donald Luskin and business writer Andrew Greta. Filled
with exclusive interviews, profiles, and analyses of leading
financial, business, and artistic stars who have based their lives,
and careers, on the philosophy of the perennially popular Ayn Rand,
this book both inspires and enlightens. On the other side are
Rand's arch villains?the power-seekers, parasites, and lunatics who
would destroy that which the creators and builders make. Who are
today's anti-heroes, fighting the creativity of the innovators?
* Contains insightful interviews, profiles, and analyses of the
individuals who have lived by a Randian code to achieve greatness
for themselves and others
* Offers a probing analysis of those who seek to destroy or undo
the achievements of others?from academics, pundits, and government
bureaucrats to fraudsters who have wreaked havoc on our world
Engaging and entertaining, I Am John Galt examines how
the inspiration that is Galt thrives more than 50 years after
publication of Atlas Shrugged. It will spark the interest of Ayn
Rand fans everywhere, as well as those seeking a way to succeed in
today's turbulent and confusing times.
