konerko14 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Why did Francisco D'Anconia buy the San Sebastian mines and want it to fail? It seemed like he did this so the People of Mexico would receive nothing when they nationalized the country, like he was just mocking them. But Francisco also seemed pleased when he learned that Ellis Wyatt was going to lose his business from this whole debactle, and Wyatt is one of the great businessmen in the book. It looks like he wants to destroy everybody, even the good guys. Am I right on these comments or is their a different answer? Im still reading Atlas Shrugged, so dont give away anything further than this part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmMetaphysical Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah, anything we could say about it would a be a spoiler. Enjoy! I am currently re-reading the book now and its great, but it was so great the first time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KendallJ Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) Why did Francisco D'Anconia buy the San Sebastian mines and want it to fail? Why does Atlas . . . shrug? You must realize that you've asked the fundamental question of the book. As much as we'd like to tell you, we can't without spoiling it.
