  • The entire theme of Atlas shrugged is about how capitalist oligarchs are the critical class desperately needed in the world to make any real progress.

    That they should be handed unregulated power because they’ll do more with it than the “workers”.

    It’s the polar opposite of what you’re describing as the takeaway, and it’s not even subtle or mysterious about it. It repeats that point ad nauseum from about chapter 2 until the end of the book.

    So my question to you would be: are you sure you’re thinking of the correct book? If so, it might be time for you to refresh yourself on it because there’s not another interpretation about the point of it. It’s not a hidden meaning or left up to the reader. It literally beats that into the reader during every capitalistic sychophantish chapter.
