The decisions of a few industrial leaders shake the roots of capitalism and reawaken man's awareness of himself as a heroic being.
Rand's 1200-page novel is a hymn of praise to the concept of rugged individualism, personified in John Galt. This polemic for Rand's philosophy of "rational self-interest" has been a steady seller since it was published in 1957.
