In this gripping ReReadium episode, we dissect Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" — where industrial titans strike against a suffocating bureaucracy—and draw chilling parallels to today's crises: Trump's "Atlas Shrugs" National Security Strategy retreating from global burdens, and Germany's crumbling economy mirroring Rand's dystopia of blackouts, migration woes, and fleeing producers. Tune in for a provocative dive that questions if modern "looters" are devouring the makers. Will you shrug too?
