Sales of “Atlas Shrugged” Soar in the Face of Economic Crisis

Washington, D.C., February 23, 2009--Sales of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” have almost tripled over the first seven weeks of this year compared with sales for the same period in 2008. This continues a strong trend after bookstore sales reached an all-time annual high in 2008 of about 200,000 copies sold.

“Americans are flocking to buy and read ‘Atlas Shrugged’ because there are uncanny similarities between the plot-line of the book and the events of our day”

Bull. Sales of the book are up because it keeps showing up on the news as Greenspan's favorite book. Considering the primary market for the piece of crap (colleges) it's a nice deal for her estate that the book is selling, but it's still crap.

Do people really care about Greenspan that much. My God, he was a kid when he liked that book. Maybe these "news" people don't mention that, eh?

So I take it you think the spin is crap as well as the book being crap too, right?
