[en] The following is an excerpt (italics mine) from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It is reproduced for educational purposes only. Our world is living through some extraordinary times. Over the last few years, Central Banks have issued more money than ever. People seem to have lost their sense of the Sources of Prosperity: intellectual Creativity, physical Productivity, and freedom to Trade. Ayn Rand is a Russian-born American novelist, and author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. She is the originator of the philosophy of Objectivism. More about her life and philosophy can be found at the Ayn Rand Institute Website. Her analysis of the role of Money in a Free and Civilized Society is more relevant than ever. Time is running out.
