This section of Atlas Shrugged displace two big parts of business. Business corruption, and business genius. You get to see where true loyalties lie and what is really driving people.
What truly stood out to me was the corruption in the science community. It is a social generalization to assume that scientists are looking out for us and will always tell the truth. Humans tend to get a mob mentality when a man in a white coat tells us something is bad for us. (i.e. Global Warming) Now I am not saying that Scientists are always lying, but in the case of Reader Metal, since they did not get their way, they committed slander.
On the other side of the scale, Dagny decided to shine with a stroke of pure business genius. I personally believe her plan for John Galt is very smart. Since Taggart would be destroyed if they opened a line made of Rearden metal, creating a testing railway is the perfect idea. She will be able to stick it to the science community and all other doubters of the metal. A railway with her at the helms would be able to surpass Taggart if she so wished. I hope to see how others react to the opening of the railways and if Rearden's metal is a success. I'm 100% supporting Dagny in this cause and hope she prevails.
