Ukusukela ekupapashweni kwayo, le ncwadi ithengise iikopi ezizizigidi ezithandathu kwaye ivelise imibutho ezinikele kwifilosofi yakhe, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Objectivism. Umsebenzi wakhe, nangona kunjalo, uhlala ehlaselwa ngabagxeki boncwadi.
Kodwa ukubhencwa kukaJohn Galt, inkampani yokudiliza ngelishwa kunye nokuzenza ngathi ungumbhali, kuye kwabeka isikhanyiso okwethutyana kwinkcubeko encinci eyaziwayo yabalandeli beRandi abathi, kule minyaka idlulileyo, ngenzondelelo bathiya zonke iintlobo zezinto-imiqondiso yasesitalatweni kunye neenkampani kunye nebhlog iisayithi-emva komlinganiswa oyintsomi.
Indawo kaJohn Galt ingafumaneka kwilokishi yaseFlorence, NJ. Kukho iJohn Galt yeMortgage kunye nesihloko kwi-Ft. ILauderdale. Izisombululo zikaJohn Galt eChicago zinabathengi abanjengoVolkswagen kunye neLoreal. U-Omaha Steaks-inkampani ethe ngqo yenyama-uhlala kuJohn Galt Blvd. e-Omaha, eNebraska. Itshekhi yoluhlu kwilizwe lonke ifumana ubuncinci iinkampani ezilishumi ezibizwa ngokuba nguJohn Galt-ukusuka kwiinkonzo ezibophelelayo kwiinkampani ezincinci zosasazo.
Ke bangoonyana kunye neentombi zaseGalt basabela njani kulwazi lwabo olutsha?
Iifilimu zikaJohn Galt, ezifumaneka eGreenwich St. eManhattan, zisebenza kwimveliso kamabonakude wentengiso. Indoda eyathi kuphela igama layo njengo-Dov yaphendula umnxeba kwaye yavuma ukuba inkampani ibizwa ngegama lomntu ophambili kule ncwadi. Wathi mhlawumbi umniniyo wayengenamdla ekuthetheni.
Eyona nto yayincokolwa kakhulu yayinguAnnemarie Omrod, uMongameli kunye ne-CEO kaJohn Galt Solutions, inkampani yaseChicago enabasebenzi abangama-33 ababonelela, njengewebhusayithi yayo (johngalt.com) eyazisa: uqikelelo olufikelelekayo kunye nezisombululo zolawulo lwempahla kumthengi oqhutywa ngumthengi. Uye wathi yena nomyeni wakhe uKai Trepte, nowaseka inkampani kunye naye, babefunda inoveli ngelo xesha kwaye bakhuthazeka.
UNks Omrod uchithe iiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo echazela abahlobo kunye nabaxumi ukuba hayi, akahambelani nenkampani yokudiliza evela eBronx. Ubeke iminxeba evela kwimibutho yeendaba kwilizwe liphela, wabachazela ukuba bajongana nokubonelela ngokubonelela, hayi ukususwa kwe-asbestos. NgoLwesihlanu ophelileyo, uthumele uthotho lweeleta kubathengi baseNew York ebacebisa malunga non-ubudlelwane.
UNks Omrod, okhulele eNew Jersey kunye neeholide elunxwemeni, uthe uthathe i-ribbing kule veki iphelileyo: Bathe, 'UnguJohn Galt Corp?' Ndathi, 'Ngaba ndikhangeleka njengenkampani yokwakha? '
Okwangoku, igama lidala ukudideka. Umzekelo, Mnu. Trepte, olisekela mongameli wentengiso kunye nenkonzo kwinkampani, uthi ngokudibana nabathengi ngamanye amaxesha uyifumene le mpendulo: Uphi uJohn Galt? Kutheni ungamzisanga? Ngaba asibalulekanga ngokwaneleyo?
KuJohn Galt Way eFlorence Twp, kukho iDepho yasekhaya. URick Cureton, umongameli wenkampani yokwakha ephuhlisa oko kuzakuba zizigidi ezisibhozo zeenyawo zokusasaza kunye nevenkile, uthe isitalato sabizwa ngo1999 ngumsunguli wenkampani, umlandeli omkhulu weRandi. Kodwa ngokubhekisele kuMnu. Cureton, unengxaki kule ncwadi.
Ndizamile kathathu, utshilo. Kwaye ndifumana malunga ne-100 lamaphepha kwaye andinakuthatha kwakhona. Imalunga namaphepha ayi-1200. Andikwazi ukuyenza. Uthe uninzi lwabantu alunalo nofifi malunga nokuphefumlelwa kwesitalato. Ndiyababuza, ‘Ngaba niyazi ukuba limela ntoni elo gama?’ Kwaye uninzi lwabantu alwazi ngokwenene. Uluntu lwethu alufundwanga kakuhle.
Into enomdla kukuba, ukungxama kwe-Galt kunye neRandi ayisiyonto umbhali ayifunayo.
Ngelixa u-Ayn Rand wayesaphila wayichasa kwaye wazisa iisuti ngokuchasene nayo, ukhumbula u-Allan Gotthelf, intloko ye-Ayn Rand Society kunye noprofesa otyeleleyo wefilosofi kwiYunivesithi yase Pittsburgh. Wayeyazi iRandi iminyaka engama-20 kwaye umbhali we-On Ayn Rand.
Xa esiva iindaba malunga nomlilo kwiDeutsche Bank kunye nenkampani esemva kwayo, waba neemvakalelo eziphikisanayo: ukonwabisa ekuqondeni nasekucaphukiseni ukuba umntu othile asebenzise eli gama kwinkxalabo yeshishini elingenantlonelo. Ngokwesiqhelo, xa uhlangabezana noku, wathi, ngaba bazama ukutsala ishishini ngezizathu zokuzibandakanya kwigama. Ayisiyongxaki yokuba nengxelo esemgangathweni.
Umsebenzi weRandi noJohn Galt uya kunyamezela ixesha elithile elizayo. Lo nyaka uphawula isikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-50 sokupapashwa kweAtlas Shrugged, kunye nendibano eyayiseWashington, D.C. ngo-Okthobha kubhiyozelwa isiganeko esibalulekileyo siza kuba nezithethi uJohn Stossel we-ABC wama-20/20 noCharles Murray, umbhali-mbhali weBell Curve. Kwaye emva kweminyaka emininzi yeengxaki kunye nezichaso zangaphambili ezivela kuNks Rand-owasweleka ngo-1982-ingxelo efotyiweyo yenoveli edlala phambili ku-Angelina Jolie kwaye iveliswe yiLions Gate Entertainment-isaphuhlisweni.
NjengoCathy Young, umhleli onegalelo kwimagazini ye-libertarian i-Reason, wabhala kwincwadi yakhe ngo-2005: Abalandeli befilosofi yakhe, i-Objectivism, bamthatha njengoyena mntu ucinga kakhulu ukuba abambe lo mhlaba ukususela ku-Aristotle kunye nombhali omkhulu kunabo bonke. Iingqondi eziphambili zithanda ukumgxotha njengombhali we-pulp fiction kunye ne-pseudo-philosophical quack kunye nesibheno sabaselula abanomdla.
Ukuya kuthi ga kwinkampani yokudiliza iGalt, umfazi ophendule umnxeba kwikomkhulu elise-Bronx uthe akanalo nofifi malunga nemvelaphi yegama kwaye akaqhelananga neAtlas Shrugged, kodwa wavuma ukushiya umyalezo. Ayibuyiswanga. Kude kube ngulo mhla, akukho namnye kule nkampani osele eqinisekisile ukuba ingaba le nkampani ibizwa ngegama leRandi kusini na.
Kwaye ngekhe sazi: Kukho uluhlu lwezindlu ezingama-51 zikaJohn Galt eUnited States. Enye iseBrooklyn.
