I am John Galt. Today’s heroic innovators building the world and the villainous parasites destroying it. Donald L. Luskin & Andrew Greta. 2011. ISBN 9781118013786. Rise up all you Ayn Rand fans who recognize John Galt when you meet him. Tech industry titans Bill Gates ( Henry Rearden), Steve Jobs (Howard Roark), T.J. Rogers ( Francisco d’Anconia) come off really well in this “Who would be the heroes and villains in Ayn Rands world today” thesis. If you do not know/read Ayn Rand, shame on you (Is my bias showing? ) The authors have written a compelling as well as educational book about the US villains and the heroes. If you are a far left wing liberal , then this may be a bit strong stuff for you. If you believe in the goodness of unfettered capitalism, ‘come on down!”. I thoroughly enjoyed it – but in some ways Attila the Hun was a bit liberal for me. The website http://www.iamjohngalt.com/ is hilarious at times. You might look at Obamacare in a whole new light. Maybe Steven Harper should read this?
