More information about Final Jeopardy:

The article was written in 2007 by Harriet Rubin to commemmorate the 50th anniversary of the publication of the Ayn Rand work.

One point made by the article:

“I know from talking to a lot of Fortune 500 C.E.O.’s that ‘Atlas Shrugged’ has had a significant effect on their business decisions, even if they don’t agree with all of Ayn Rand’s ideas,” said John A. Allison, the chief executive of BB&T, one of the largest banks in the United States.

Former Federal Reserve chair Alan Greenspan was also said to be a devotee of Rand.
