Yaron Brook joins us to speak on his latest book ‘Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand’s Ideas Can End Big Government’, which argues that we must embrace a new way of thinking about capitalism and self-interest – one first spearheaded by popular novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand. Brook applies Rand’s ideas to today’s political events, with chapters addressing the debt crisis, inflation, regulation, the welfare state, and much more.

Here’s a quote from the liner notes of Free Market Revolution:
"In "Free Market Revolution, " the keepers of Ayn Rand’s legacy""argue that the answer lies in her pioneering philosophy of capitalism and self-interest -a philosophy that more and more people are turning to for answers. In the past few years, Rand’s 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 swelling welfare state. And most important, they show how Rand’s philosophy can enable defenders of the free market to sieze 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 history – ideas that may prove the only hope for the future."
