  1. The main difference between them is that Dagny and Rearden initially don't see that a strike is necessary whereas Galt, Francisco and Ragnar do. It's when Rearden realizes that the destruction of the country is made possible by him -- that men like Thompson, Mouch and Ferris have come to assume that they can get away with their destructive policies because he, Rearden, will figure something out -- that he sees that a strike is necessary. Dagny, at first, believes that everyone essentially wants the same -- that everyone is on the life premise -- but that some men, men like her brother, are just so hopelessly incompetent that she just has to work a little harder to get the country going again. I don't remember exactly what it is that makes her change her mind, but I do know that it happens in the dinner scene where she sees Galt among the looters. I think it is the knowledge that they are going to torture Galt that does. But anyway, she recognizes that some men are moved by what AR calls the death premise, and that does it for her. She calls Fransisco after that.
