FoxNews.com: The Radicalness of Atlas Shrugged
ARC senior fellow Dr. Onkar Ghate has an article published today on FoxNew.com’s opinion page. Titled “The Radicalness of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged,” Dr. Ghate writes:
To give a taste of its radicalness, consider that today it’s taken for granted that the man of virtue is Mother Teresa-like; he selflessly lives to serve others and demands that you do the same. The man of vice is selfish; he pursues his own interests and demands that his actions bring him a profit. Whenever a television show or movie needs a stock villain, one whose evil motivation will require no setup, you can be sure a businessman erecting an office building on treed land or a corporation testing an experimental drug will be written in. Simply to point out that they are pursuing profit is sufficient to damn them. Judging from my experience, more murders on television are committed by businessmen than by mobsters.
It is this entire viewpoint, entrenched for centuries by religious and secular thinkers alike, that Atlas Shrugged challenges. What emerges from its pages is that the moral man is in fact truly selfish: he chooses to embrace his own life by choosing to purposefully, systematically, and unwaveringly do the thinking and take the actions necessary for his own happiness.
