Like an earlier poster said, The Fountainhead was a much cleaner expression of what she was getting at. Atlas Shrugged got crowded with a lot of side issues that distract people from the real point.
I highly suggest Fredric Bastiat, "The Law." He makes her same argument in about 100 pages (depending on print size.)

It's a book of FICTION.

I actually read fountainhead and Anthem in preparation. As an architect, and knowing a bit about the life of Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd, Wright, and the scumbag Socialist International Style usurper architects, i really appreciated Fountainhead. I always thought it was funny that my commie architecture school teachers always hyped up the fountainhead because it revolved around architecture completely missing the fact that it was anathema to all they espoused.

Atlas Shrugged is very well written, but unfortunately, and rather impressively, is both the unsubstantial and endless droning of an insane hypocrite.
Her family in Russia was ruined by the revolution, and despite the fact that it was the revolution itself that let her become the educated woman she was, she never dropped her grudge.
Despite her preachings she couldn’t honor the social contract of her own marriage, she couldn’t survive of her own abilities, and suckled the government tear until she died.
It is utterly impossible to take Atlas Shrugged seriously.
