Atlas Shrugged- Review

Readers should pardon me for the break in the African Resource Bank updates, but I thought this event was too important to be missed.

IMANI Book Review Series

Featuring

“Atlas Shrugged” rated second most influential book after the Bible

Theme: Redefining Your Relationship with Society and Government
A Philosophical and Economic Journey with the US (Russian-born) novelist Ayn Rand

Saturday, November24, 2007, @ Ashesi University, Building Three from 10:00 am -12:00pm with Lunch

What would you do if society betrays your hard work, dignity, underpays and confiscates the property you have rightfully acquired?

What would you do if your contribution to the growth of Ghana in art, business, leadership, scientific research, or new ideas of any kind was penalized with say, exorbitant income taxes?
In her Magnum Opus (Greatest Work), Ayn Rand positions man as the ruler of his own life. As his contributions to society are met with disdain, disgrace and punishment, he decides to shrug, and go into solitary confinement. What happens to society afterwards will be the basis for our online chapter by chapter discussions of this never-to-put-down 1168 page book.

The book, Atlas Shrugged is billed by some surveys as the second most important book after the bible in the US.
Would you shrug?

For a detailed description of this project, please join the IMANI team over lunch. We will give you a copy for free and may depending on your circumstances defray part of your transportation fares to the venue.

Most importantly bring a friend thirsty for knowledge along. But the Sixty (70) seats are being filled quickly, so hurry.
