If only \"Atlas\" were required reading for\nevery member of Congress and political appointee in the Obama administration. I'm confident that we'd get out\nof the current financial mess a lot faster.\n\nThe art for a 1999 postage stamp.\n\nMany of us who know Rand's work have noticed that with each passing week, and with each successive\nbailout plan and economic-stimulus scheme out of Washington, our current politicians are committing the very\nacts of economic lunacy that \"Atlas Shrugged\" parodied in 1957, when this 1,000-page novel was first\npublished and became an instant hit."}]
