Quote "I swear by my life and love for it that I will never live for someone else and will never ask someone else to live for me." Ayn Rand What the book is about Socialists come to power in the United States and the government takes a course on "equal opportunities", considering it fair to make the worthless and untalented rich at the expense of the talented and wealthy. The persecution of business leads to the destruction of the economy, and one by one, under mysterious circumstances, talented people and the best entrepreneurs begin to disappear. The main characters of the novel Steel king Hank Rearden and vice president of the railway company Dagny Taggert are trying in vain to resist the tragic events. Instead of general prosperity, society is plunging into apathy and chaos.
