What are the major virtues man’s survival requires? What is love? What is Capitalism? Who are the real producers of our af- fluent society? What would hap- pen if all the brains of the world went on strike? Who is John Galt? “Atlas Shrugged,” a novel by Ayn Rand, states her answers to these questions. Within Miss Rand’s book lies a mystery story of unique form and plot. Within “Atlas Shrugged” lives a stirring philosophy for man. Ayn Rand was born in Russia and grew up during the Revolu- tion of the early 1900's. Because Communism was incompatible with the values she deemed neces- sary for her life, she left Russia in 1926 and adopted the USA as her home. She decided as a child that writing was to be her profes- sion, She knew, as a child, she would not write the kind of stories that were cutrently being written. Her stories would not be about man and his society as it was, but as she thought they should be. Her characters were to be heros that one could look up to. Her stories would bring joy rather than dis- gust or sadness. She created just such a book in Atlas Shrugged. This book will be- come a classic alongside those of Hugo and Dostoyevsky. It has al- Teady become required reading in many university philosophy courses, Because of the increasing re- quests for a more detailed presen- tation of the philosophy set out in Atlas Shrugged and her other book The Fountainhead, an edu- cational institute was established in New York City by a Canadian Nathaniel Branden. Since its in- ception in 1958 thousands of peo- ple have taken lecture courses and received literature from NBI. Last year lectures were presented in 80 cities in Canada and the U.S. to 5,000 students, and over 40,000 people are now receiving material from NBI. A quiet revolution appears to be sweeping the continent. People from all walks of life, university students, professors, doctors, eco- nomists, farmers, sales clerks and housewives are becoming students and advocates of Ayn Rands’ phil- osophy now called objectivism. The full effect of her philosophy will no doubt be felt in our society within the next few years. With each of her books ‘having sold more than a million copies and still selling at the rate of 200,000 a year. Objectivism may well be- come the most important philoso- phy of the twentieth century. ~— At sea and ashore!
