I would go further - high schools should have a mandatory one year course centered around Atlas Shrugged, The Gulag Archipelago and Darkness at Noon. These books would lead into a study of economics, human nature and the desire of a non-trivial part of the population to exchange freedom for "free stuff" and how the exchange has always wound up with the population in chains, serving their masters. Part of the economics section of the course would involve the students running a fictional business, with guest lectures by local lawyers and accountants on all the regulatory hoops their businesses will have to comply with.

I’ve been thinking of buying Atlas Shrugged by the case and handing it out on street corners. I’ve already pummeled my friends and family with multiple copies.
If I can name one book that completely altered my view on things it was this one (sorry Christians, I was raised Lutheran and the Bible didn’t blow the top of my head off nearly as much as A.S. did).
