The Morality of Capitalism: May 6, 2013 Talk by Dr. Yaron Brook
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/08/13 -- "The Morality of Capitalism"
May 6, 2013: A talk in Toronto by ARI executive director Dr. Yaron Brook
Description: Capitalism has an undisputed record of wealth generation, yet it has always functioned under a cloud of moral suspicion. In a culture that venerates Mother Teresa as a paragon of virtue, businessmen sit in stoic silence while their pursuit of profits is denounced as selfish greed. In this talk, Dr. Yaron Brook - executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute and co-author of Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can End Big Government - will demonstrate how Ayn Rand's revolutionary ethics of rational self-interest supply the moral foundation that previous proponents of capitalism lacked. Dr. Brook will explain why individual rights are crucial for capitalism's survival - why productivity and profit, the "selfish greed" that conservatives abhor, are not vices but cardinal virtues.
