FICTITIOUS TIMELINE
10September 2DatesNo YearEvents

September 2
Several events in Atlas Shrugged take place on September 2: In the opening scene of the novel, Eddie Willers walks through NYC beneath a gigantic calendar hanging from a public tower that announces the date as September 2. Hank Rearden and Dagny Taggart decide to take a vacation together on September 2, during which they discover an abandoned motor that should have revolutionized the use of energy in the world. Francisco D'Anconia makes his speech on money on September 2, proclaiming money to be the tool of free trade and the result of noble effort, not the root of evil. Those who call money evil choose to replace its use with the force of the gun. D'Anconia Copper is nationalized on September 2, but the date on the calendar is replaced by "Brother, you asked for it!"
