“Atlas Shrugged,” the movie, will be hitting silver screens across the country April 15. So far, it will come no closer to North Carolina than Alexandria and Nashville.

There is a hope that the movie will take off like a vampire flick, and kids will start reading the book. Of course, life is never that easy. Economists have been trying to lay out facts about the optimal functioning of markets for the last 300 years. Selfishness has a way of drowning out reasoned arguments on behalf of liberty.

Needless to say, the Huffington Post dissed the production. According to the critic:

It features the story of John Galt, an industrialist that leads a movement of creative and business masters who flee as government becomes more and more obtrusive, hoping to show what happens when innovators are not free to do whatever they want.
