Is Atlas Shrugging? — Atlas Shrugged

Is Atlas Shrugging? — Atlas Shrugged:
"In this lecture, delivered at Ford Hall Forum in Boston, Miss Rand discusses the relationship of the events presented in Atlas Shrugged to the actual events occurring in the world—and addresses the question: Is Atlas Shrugged a prophetic novel or a historical one?"


Listen to the lecture...while I like much of it, it is funny how even then they were complaining that students/young graduates etc were not as good as in the past. This supposed "brain drain" has been talked about since ancient Greece. Not sure why...Ideas? Best guess is everyone thinks that their generation is the best/smartest/hardest working.
