Atlas Shrugged / 《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》

Atlas Shrugged / 《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》 enters the wiki through 09.阿特拉斯耸耸肩:安兰德只是爽文作家吗? as [[AynRand|Ayn Rand / 安·兰德]]’s clearest capitalist-strike myth. The episode says the novel should be read as fable or modern myth rather than realistic political economy: its force lies in making producers, entrepreneurs, scientists, bureaucrats, and moral parasites visibly separate.

The source’s plot account emphasizes Dagny Taggart, Hank Rearden, John Galt, a decaying rail and industrial system, Rearden metal, the abandoned static-energy motor, and Galt’s secret valley. The episode reads “Who is John Galt?” as both a despairing social catchphrase and a signal that the competent creators have begun to withdraw from a society that consumes their work while punishing their independence.

The page’s key contribution is Entrepreneur Strike Myth / 企业家罢工神话. The episode does not argue that every capitalist is admirable; it distinguishes value-creating entrepreneurs from power-dependent business figures. That distinction keeps [[Objectivism|Objectivism / 客观主义]] from collapsing into a blanket defense of wealth while still preserving the source’s warning against automatic shame or hatred toward lawful wealth creation.
