Francisco d'Anconia (view source)
Revision as of 23:46, February 21, 2012
, 23:46, February 21, 2012→Directive 10-289
On May 1, 2019, the [[United States]] Bureau of Economic Planning and Natural Resources issued [[Directive 10-289]], under which all persons would be legally attached to their jobs, ''and'' all inventions and other intellectual property would be nationalized and become an intellectual common. Francisco called Dagny and simply asked her whether she had yet received news of what he called "the moratorium on brains."

Francisco called Dagny and simply asked her whether she had yet received news of what he called "the moratorium on brains."
Within twenty-four hours, Dagny Taggart had disappeared. Then on May 15, John Galt told Francisco that he had discovered, from his position as a spy in the Taggart Terminal, where Dagny might be found. He then told Francisco that he should go to her and tell her of the strike, saying that he had "earned" this chance. From Galt, that was a significant concession, because Francisco knew that John Galt had fallen in love with her.

Francisco did go to see her. But he did not tell her the secret of the strike. He ''did'', however, tell her the secret of his sham playboy persona, and his deliberate acts to destroy his company.
