Whatever your feelings toward the book, it’s directly relevant to this post.
It is overly verbose and the characters are pretty flat, but the core idea seems pretty interesting to me.
The writing is very different but has a similar feel to It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair. Even if they aren’t completely realistic it’s good to question the US’s exceptionalism and think about how things could go wrong here.
I’ve never quite understood the hostility towards Atlas Shrugged. Is there another book you’d recommend on the topic?
