What ‘Atlas Shrugged’ teaches us about the political influence of novels

Guus Valk shares the most influential book about politics that he knows, which he spoke about in the NRC podcast Between the lines. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Guus: ‘The book has revealed part of the world. It shows a certain way of thinking that is very strong in the United States. And that way of thinking is hard to grasp, but reading this book will take you a long way.’
