We’re living economically in Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged“. Her “The Virtue of Selfishness” needs to be read too.
But the one book I’d recommend as most pertinent in today’s world is Rand’s “Anthem“.
She writes:
“Perhaps, in those days, there were a few among men, a few of clear sight and clean soul, who refused to surrender….What agony must have been theirs before that which they saw coming and could not stop! Perhaps they cried out in protest and in warning. But men paid no heed to their warning. And they, these few, fought a hopeless battle, and they perished with their banners smeared with their own blood. And they chose to perish, for they knew.”
