Though reading this voluminous book written in old English is tough, this one I would like to recommend. This book is easier to understand than the authorsThe Fountainhead, but it is based on the same theme. So if you havent read Fountainhead, but want to read the author, better take up this one. This is a better attempt at explaining the authors idea of Objectivism.
It speaks of a world wherein Government efforts to share the fruits of ones labour with all, brings about a complete dearth of Entrepreneurs. And in that world, a few people continue to struggle to keep their business going. Its all about fighting all odds to be the best you can, even if it does not make you popular. Somehow, it also reminds me of the character of Guru in the film based on Dhirubhai Ambani.
