Economic equality would look much like the book "faith of the fallen" by terry goodkind.

Is this a good book? What's it about (without spoiling).

It is part of the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, and one of the best books in the series. It's pretty good. It's very, very, very  much like Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, but in the context of a High Fantasy universe.

I'll look into it. Not for myself, but for my gf. She loves Dan Brown and she wants to get into the Century Trilogy by Ken Follet. To be honest a 12 book series might be a bit much to get into, and The Fountainhead (while her style book) is too old. Do you have any other recommendations?
