I first read Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged in 1982. The book threw me into an anxiety attack after reading it. Why? Because it challenged all my previous beliefs and assumptions and presented me with a stark choice. Either she was right in the essence of her morality, or she was wrong. There was no middle ground.

If anyone has never read her works, or is not familiar with her morality and resultant political viewpoints, I certainly recommend viewing this terrific three-part interview of her by Mike Wallace – back in 1959.

There is something quite prophetic about it – in the way she points to exactly the situation in which America now finds itself – which may explain why, after so many years, people are reading her works again.

If you’re intrigued by her ideas, then I certainly recommend you go to the “source” and read Ayn Rand herself – and not rely on the opinions and interpretations of those who claim to speak for her.
