To everyone saying "actually...": I can't speak for the UK or India, but in non-English speaking countries she is unknown. Atlas Shrugged didn't have a French edition until 2011, a German edition until 2012, Japanese until 2004. It sold *thousands* of copies in these countries.
Meanwhile in the US she's completely mainstream. Everyone knows her name and the title of that book. Very commonly read in high school for class. So yes, there's a big difference. The extent she's known elsewhere is a pure side effect of her influence in the US.
Anyway, that's a lot of unnecessary words to say, no I don't think Atlas Shrugged is the most influential book in history after the Bible. Guess there's a lesson here about the relativism of culture: what's essential and obvious to one person may mean nothing to their neighbor.
Definitely not commonly read in high school in the early 2000s. I wish we would of had more Austrian-esque literature.

This reminds me of an American girl in her twenties who was in Japan teaching English and told me the best philosopher she ever encountered was Ayn Rand. I had no clue and had to research hard.
I wonder how much of that is because of the annual essay competitions for high school students.

I’m surprised it’s read in high school classes. I thought it was considered bad literature.
Commonly read in high school? I had never even heard of it until my fourth year of college
