ReviewsThis book is a must read for anyone concerned about thedemonization of capitalism and deification of collectivism. Yaron Brook and DonWatkins meld philosophy with practicality in their cogent analysis of how AynRand's moral defense of capitalism can bring down the limitless growth ofgovernment and restore its original, intended purpose--protection of individualrights. Changing the trajectory of the country calls for a long and intensefight with very steep odds against victory. But the concept of the FreeMarket Revolution , celebrating the individual pursuit of rational,long-term self-interest as a virtue, provides the arsenal for the assault. AndBrook and Watkins give a battle plan of surefire approaches to limit, and theneliminate, even such massive incursions as the government's takeover ofhealthcare., Free Market Revolution will raise the ire of every statist, socialist, and crony capitalist. Rand understood--as do the authors of this all-too-timely book--that free markets are, indeed, moral while Big Government is manifestly not., In this lengthy but digestible tome, Brook and Watkins, of the Ayn Rand Institute, tackle the 2008 housing crisis, subsequent Wall Street crash, Bernie Madoff, and the healthcare industry through the lens of Rand's principles...The book challenges existing value judgments of self-interest, self-sacrifice, and the morality of business people, deeming them not selfish but heroic, saving less intellectually skilled workers from 'starv[ing] in hopeless ineptitude.', A powerful and unapologetic case in support of capitalism.For those who think more government will solve our nation's problems, FreeMarket Revolution will open your eyes. For those who can already seethe light, it will sharpen your vision., The most important issue in our society today is themorality of capitalism. Free Market Revolution lays bare howcapitalism is the only economic system consistent with man's nature as athinking being who must act in his long term rational self-interest to surviveand prosper. This is an important book which integrates philosophical ideaswith their real world consequences., Free Market Revolution is must-reading for an age in which the government seems to be treating Atlas Shrugged not as a warning, but as a how-to manual., Free Market Revolution is apotential game-changer. Brook and Watkins dismantle the myth that free marketsare responsible for today's ills, and they teach us how to take the moral highground in the fight against big government. If there are any Occupiers left,this book should make them lay down their signs in surrender. Anyone who wantsto understand why we have strayed so far from the Founders' ideals, and how wecan find our way back, should read this book.

Edition DescriptionUnabridged edition
SynopsisHere is a look at how our current economic crises are caused by too much government--and how Ayn Rand's 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. In Free Market Revolution , the keepers of Ayn Rand's legacy argue that the answer lies in Rand's 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 growing welfare state. And most importantly, they show how Rand's 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 history--ideas that may prove the only hope for the future., Here is a look at how our current economic crises are caused by too much government--and how Ayn Rand's bold defense of free markets can help us change course.
