[lbo-talk] Remarkably insightful review of Atlas Shrugged by Whittaker Chambers.

[JOANNA A.]

Yes and no. I have yet to read a critique of Rand that happens to mention the fact that at the end of "Shrugged" the way by which this elite manages to survive is by having discovered some infinite, magical source of energy so that they no longer need.....wait for it....workers. 

It is actually very funny: for the first time in literature....the deus ex machina is replaced by the prole ex machina.

Atlas is probably the best-selling POS in literary history.
