Atlas Shrugged – Day 068 – pp. 741-750
Now Rand twists — or rather UNtwists — a commonly held belief.
“We’ve heard so much about strikes. . .and about the dependence of the uncommon upon the common. We’ve heard it shouted that the industrialist is a parasite, that his workers support him, create his wealth, make his luxury possible — and what would happen to him if they walked out? Very well. I propose to show the world who depends on whom, who supports whom, who is the source of wealth, who make whose livelihood possible and what happens to whom when who walks out.”
