Book about understanding looters selling well

Sales of “Atlas Shrugged” Soar in the Face of Economic Crisis

Washington, D.C., February 23, 2009–Sales of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” have almost tripled over the first seven weeks of this year compared with sales for the same period in 2008. This continues a strong trend after bookstore sales reached an all-time annual high in 2008 of about 200,000 copies sold.

What I want to know is where’s Galt’s Gulch?

Seriously, I don’t know if I could read it again right now. You recognize too many of the looters she described: And you always regarded them as slightly exaggerated. Unfortunately, she probably understated it.

I will say you should read it if you haven’t, and I did suggest it as part of a reading list on November 6. See also this list from November 5.
