Human Event's list of "Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries" is stirring vigorous debate across the Internet, including the Liberty and Power blog to which I contribute. The debate began with a post by Ralph Luker on CLIOPATRIA: A Group Blog -- hosted by History News Network, who also hosts L&P -- in which Luker included "Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead/Atlas Shrugged" as number 9 on his list of the "10 most harmful", with Mein Kampf capturing the #1 spot. [Scroll to the bottom of his post to view responses.] Noted Rand scholar Chris Sciabarra is continuing the Luker-Rand debate on L&P in his posts here and here.
