I am a big fan of AYN RAND n her philosophy of objectivism
Some things are meant to b jus read n left while odrs worth being chewed upon..FH is one such book containing d gospel truths of life...simply great...such strength of characters is beyond any applauds..

This ancient thread's been bumped up again, eh?
I am having nostalgic memories of 2004. Took couple of hours off my office work and went through all the posts from 2004 to 2006. Its been getting bumped up now and then but somehow the thread has lost its fire since 2006. It would be fun to see that kind of discussion back here.

Hello,
I was pleasantly surprised that this thread had continued for over five years. And even more so, because the views expressed were so diverse. From the nature of MBA education would not produce a Howard Roark or John Galt, to ardent admirers of Ayn Rand's philosophy pursuing the MBA.
I would like to invite any one interested to visit our Ayn Rand in India initiative at Ayn Rand in India

We also have presence on Blogspot and Facebook.
The annual Atlas Shrugged Essay Competition 2009, just ended. We had attempted to promote it to over 500 universities, colleges and high schools across India. I hope some of few have participated. Otherwise, watch out for the 2010 Contest.
Would like to hear from you.

"From the nature of MBA education would not produce a Howard Roark or John Galt, to ardent admirers of Ayn Rand's philosophy pursuing the MBA."

And why do you think that Nature of MBA education can't produce men like Howard and Galt?

Hi,
I was only quoting from old emails on this thread over the past five years, to show the diverse range of opinion that had been expressed here earlier. I did not imply that MBA education would not produce a Roark or Galt.

Those of us who learnt a lot from the writings of Ayn Rand, came up through the same Indian education system, as those who may not agree with Ayn Rand, or those who may have not heard of Ayn Rand.

Whatever formal education one gets, at some point all of us have to take the responsibility of using that education in the way we deem appropriate.

The formal education system that we have in India, and I fear that would be true for most other countries too, is unlikely to "produce" Roarks and Galts as outcomes of that education system. Roarks and Galts would have something special in them that would make them what they are quite irespective of the education system they may have come out of!

But how good it would have been if the education system itself recognised the values that made Roarks and Galts possible, and attempted to gear itself to incalculate similar values in students!
