Yaron Brook: On the Morality of Capitalism

Critics of capitalism argue that it promotes inequality, greed, and exploitation and harms the environment. Not so, argues Yaron Brook. Capitalism promotes virtue and human flourishing. Free markets ensure that relationships are consensual, and they respect the autonomy and dignity of the individual, while achieving far better outcomes for everyone – whether rich or poor – than any other economic system. Capitalism will also provide the best solutions to Climate change and other environmental problems.

Yaron Brook is the Chairman of the board at Ayn Rand Institute and has a PhD at The University of Texas at Austin. Yaron Brook was born in Israel and is a declared Objectivist.

The conversation will also touch on the situation in the Middle East and how Yaron Brook sees the situation in Israel from the perspective of an Israeli-American citizen.
