Is Dubai the "Galt's Gulch" in reality?

[Rain]

Dubai, where capitalism is basically religion, seems to most accurately represent Galt's Gulch (Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand) in today's modern society. The great nation of America is becoming more socialist by the day.

For those who haven't read Atlas Shrugged, Galt's Gulch can be explained here: Galt's Gulch - Conservapedia (trust me, that's a very short read in comparison to the 1000+ pages in the actual book). Also, the link contains spoilers, so if you ever intend to read the book, this is a fair warning.

Just thought this was an interesting comparison.
