Atlas Shrugged part 2 book review

What a despicable story. Highlighted is a one sided view of over regulation driving greed for the benefit of "the people". If all opportunity is taken away and the greedy were able to run wild we would be living in this fictional world. It doesn't take long for everything to break. The problem with this story is that it only shows one dimension of the fallen human condition, can absolute socialism really ever exist? Can selfishness ever really be controlled in a fallen world? A single perspective isn't realistic, but it does give any credence to legitimate charity. At this point, the story is so one-sided and difficult to accept, its hard to go on. I’ve begun part 3 and the author begins to clearly articulate her philosophy. In a perfect world, which she creates, all are able and all can contribute. Sadly, this isn’t the world we live in.

 

I’m looking forward the finishing this, I think I get the point but am curious how the author will end the story.
