    Depending on the chapter summary it can get very lib, ie "communism doesn't work because x" bad, very New Deal fetishism type liberalism

    I just remember it quite fondly because me binging it was a pretty significant marker in my political development ~2014-15, it was quite refreshing to revisit Atlas Shrugged with a much more critical eye when I had read it in earnest as a teenage libertarian in 2007. Literally the only way anyone can think it's a good novel - not even in an ideological sense, but a literary one - is to go into it with a preconceived bias in mind.
