Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to Socialism or regression into Barbarism.

One of the best quotes I've seen about Ayn Rand

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

--quoted from Paul Krugman's blog (http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/23/im-ellsworth-toohey/)
