With the current economic slowdown, there has been reports of increased interest in and sale of "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. The novel was originally published in 1957, and continues to sell in hundreds of thousands each yeay.

The "Meaning of Money" speech by Francisco d'Anconia is a very unique exposition on the idea of money. The Hindi translation should make this very special text accessible to wider and newer readers.

We welcome comments and sugggestions on this draft.

Note: The English version of this speech by Francisco d'Anconina in the novel Atlas Shrugged can be read here.
