It is hard to have a complete understanding of the situation
that Rearden and Dagny are put in. The law, as seen throughout the entire novel
is clearly not on their side. The ever most powerful socialist government, will
not cease to stop its impulse to degrade the national economy. So far in the
novel, the government has frozen the nation wide economy, giving rise to
looters who in turn will have the country completely ransacked.
Another
issue presented in this weeks reading of Atlas Shrugged, is the problem that
the businessmen with similar characteristics as Rearden’s and Dagny’s seem
to have vanished in to thin air, which leaves it as a prominent question that I
wish is answered as I continue to read. This disappearance comes as a big issue
to the struggling economy, since it is implicit to have great minds such as the
one of Dagny and Rearden in order accomplishes a thriving economy.
The
disappearance of these bright minds only allows me to speculate Rand’s
intentions or plans as the novel continues to unravel. I believe that it will
not only bring a complete economic collapse, but also give focus to Dagny and
Rearden, two of the very few remaining economic leaders.
On the
other hand Dagny’s and Rearden’s sex life is also interesting, their affair,
allows for a different conceptualization for the reader than just the worries he
or she has on the current economy.
As I continue
to read, I hope more of the newly formed questions can be answered, the novel’s
social climate has me hooked on what will happen next.
