Synopsis

Here is a look at how our current economic crises are caused by too much governmentand how Ayn Rands bold defense of free markets can help us change course. The rise of the Tea Party and the 2010 election results revealed that tens of millions of Americans are alarmed by big government but skeptical that anything can or will be done to stop the growth of the state. InFree Market Revolution,the keepers of Ayn Rands legacyargue that the answer lies in Randspioneering philosophy of capitalism and self-interesta philosophy that more and more people are turning to for answers. In the past few years, Rands works have surged to new peaks of popularity, as politicians like Paul Ryan, media figures like John Stossel, and businessmen like John Mackey routinely name her as one of their chief influences. Here, Brook and Watkins explain how her ideas can solve a host of political and economic ills, including the debt crisis, inflation, overregulation, and the growing welfare state. And most importantly, they show how Rands philosophy can enable defenders of the free market to seize the moral high ground in the fight to limit government. This is a fresh and urgent look at the ideas of one of the most controversial figures in modern historyideas that may prove the only hope for the future.

Goodreads review by Gerry on March 18, 2017

Ending Big Government? No. Only ending the portion of government spending going to the least well off in America. No mention of reducing corporate welfare, of increasing taxes for those who earn the most but pay less tax than ordinary workers. No mention of cutting defence. Or federal and state bure......more

Goodreads review by Bakunin on August 11, 2017

Inspiring read! I have long time been a libertarian but now I am leaning more and more towards objectivism. Yaron Brook stresses (as Rand did) the importance of the morality of capitalism; it is a moral good to be selfish. This might seem like a contradiction and reading the book has made me underst......more
