“I’m so sick of them!” Her voice startled her: it was an involuntary cry. “I’m so hungry for any sight of anyone who’s able to do whatever it is he’s doing!”
Well, I just found someone, Dagny - Bannon. He's in Calumet "K" by Merwin&Webster.
(http://www.amazon.com/Calumet-K-Samuel- ... 1561141453)
I have only just begun it, but I can already tell that he pretty much exemplifies in a lot of ways, the virtue of productiveness in the Objectivist morality.
and I quote from the book:
"There was no formal assumption of authority; Bannon's supremacy was established simply by the obvious fact that he was the man who knew how."
I will write more aout the book after I read more of it.
Rand wrote about it:
In a 1945 letter, she described it as "the very best I've ever read, my favorite thing in all world literature (and that includes all the heavy classics) is a novelette called Calumet "K" by Merwin-Webster."
