In the Taggart Railroad Company, a family legacy, the current president is the eldest son, James Taggart, and the vice president is Dagny Taggart. The siblings have vastly different ideas and methods to save the company from its precarious operations. One merely mutters about unassessed investments in the Mexico—San Sebastian branch without proposing any planning or execution scheme, often viewing matters through a bitter lens of jealousy towards others' success. The other, determined to save the Taggart Railroad Company, works tirelessly like a starving madman, seeking anyone who can get things done. To successfully complete the Rio Norte railway branch, she partners with Hank Rearden of Rearden Steel, using a newly invented alloy for the tracks. However, the successful establishment of the Rio Norte railway branch marks the beginning of another unfortunate chapter. Behind the Production "Atlas Shrugged" is a monumental work by the famous American philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand. This Russian-American novelist champions reason and believes that the highest virtue of man is rationality. Defying the biases of traditional public opinion, she staunchly advocates for individualism, asserting that a society that does not maximize individual interests is not an ideal society. Her philosophy of Objectivism has been popular on American campuses since the 1950s, influencing several generations of Americans, and she herself became an idol for American youth. "Atlas Shrugged" is her most renowned novel, which had a profound impact on American society. The book promotes the idea of the supremacy of money and explores the morality of rational self-interest. Although it faced harsh criticism upon its release in 1957, it became exceptionally popular, selling second only to the Bible in the United States and influencing many intellectuals of the time, even becoming a must-read extracurricular book for American students.
