I Am John Galt: Today's Heroic Innovators Building the World and the Villainous Parasites Destroying It

Profiles of modern-day Randian heroes and villains.

If Ayn Rand's philosophy intrigues you, "I Am John Galt" could offer an enlightening exploration into how her ideas play out in the real world. Luskin and Greta delve into the lives of contemporary innovators who embody Rand's ideals and the antagonists they face, providing not just inspiration, but also a critical look at modern-day capitalism and the people who shape it. Whether you agree with Rand or not, this book presents thought-provoking parallels that could stimulate your intellectual curiosity.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Inspired by Ayn Rand's characters in Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, this book offers penetrating profiles of the innovators who move our world forward and those who seek to destroy the achievement of others. John Galt, the fictional figure from Atlas Shrugged, embodies the individualist capitalist who acts in his own enlightened self-interest and, in doing so, lifts the world around him. Some of today's most successful CEOs, journalists, sports figures, actors, and thinkers have lived according to Galt's (Rand's) philosophy. Now, in I Am John Galt, these inspiring stories are gathered with the keen insight and analysis of well-known market commentator Donald Luskin and business writer Andrew Greta. Filled with exclusive interviews, profiles, and analyses of leading financial, business, and artistic stars who have based their lives, and careers, on the philosophy of the perennially popular Ayn Rand, this book both inspires and enlightens. On the other side are Rand's arch villains—the power-seekers, parasites, and lunatics who would destroy that which the creators and builders make. Who are today's anti-heroes, fighting the creativity of the innovators?
