You might find this book interesting when contrasted with certain elements of Atlas Shrugged. I think that if you read it, you'll probably see why there is IMO a connection, (and validation) of Rand's almost prophetic work. The business about the modern Montana Economy early in the book is what compares mostly, I think.

But what the author didn’t count on is that many of the older mines that were shut down are viable with the increased prices of metals. Many of the towns are experiencing a second wind.

Thanks, that sounds really interesting. I hope it is not over my head. I have heard about this book and was curious about it. Sounds like everyone should read this book.
