I’d also like to see with “Free to Choose”, “The Forgotten Man”, “The Road to Serfdom,” and of course to make all the libs’s heads explode - “Atlas Shrugged.” I don’t know if she would like the anti-religious aspects of Rand though.
Ayn Rand is helpful, even in an argument with the very religious.
Without any scripture or religious doctrine to back her up, Ayn Rand clearly shows the immorality of Socialism.
Since Rand does not rely on religious dogma, no religious argument can hide the obvious message.
Then, after the Rand argument, we can bring up “Subsidiarity” and the many other religious arguments against Socialism.
I loved Atlas Shrugged and I am very “uppity” and protective about my God. I didn’t see anti-religious stuff. If it was there it must have not been important enough for me to realize.
What I saw was the stark contrast of that book and what is happening today. That was probably my main focus.
I’d also throw in “Unintended consequences” and “Enemies foreign and domestic” for her reading list as a warm up to “Atlas shrugged”
My husband was introduced to Rand by a Jesuit priest.
