Atlas Shrugged. In 3 books.

About the book
Socialists come to power in the USA, and the government takes a course toward "equal opportunities," considering it fair to enrich the worthless and untalented at the expense of the talented and wealthy. Persecution of businesses leads to economic collapse, and one after another, talented people and top entrepreneurs begin to disappear under mysterious circumstances. The main characters of the novel, steel king Hank Rearden and railway vice president Dagny Taggart, futilely try to resist the tragic events. Instead of universal prosperity, society plunges into apathy and chaos.
