The American thing to do is hire the best, most qualified candidate, no matter where they were born, and buy the best, most suitable product, for the price, no matter where it was made.

Capitalism is under attack. Good to hear @YaronBrook of @AynRandInst point out: “It's a fantastic system ... fundamentally moral because it allows individuals to pursue their own happiness.”

Economic freedom is the keystone of economic growth, which in turn drives wealth creation and higher living standards for the average global citizen. Economic freedom is poverty’s kryptonite. fraserinstitute.org/studies/…

A very big deal for Austin!

As both an ARI employee and an Austinite, I could not be more excited and inspired by the headquarters we are building at the corner of San Gabriel and MLK.

The Ayn Rand Center Groundbreaking This month, the Ayn Rand Institute celebrated a historic milestone: the groundbreaking of the new Ayn Rand Center in Austin, Texas. @elanjourno and ARI CEO @taltsfany share footage from the ceremony and discuss the vision for this building as a lasting physical home for Rand's ideas.

I know its their book being discussed. But my own forthcoming book at University of Chicago Press makes an even rosier case that markets are inherently egalitarian forces. And there are no better periods than the Gilded Age to show this! Pre-order the book! press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books…

What is the world's most overrated problem? It's easily climate change. You can trust the experts. Climate change is real and it's happening. But the experts also do estimates of the damage, and the vast majority come out to less than 10% of world GDP by 2100. That's not 10% poorer than today. It's 10% poorer than we otherwise would be. But if we increase GDP growth by less than 0.2 percentage points a year, it'll more than cover the likely effects of climate. Getting off fossil fuels also has costs, and there are OECD projections where doing so doesn't even pay for itself by 2100. Meanwhile, as temperatures go up, deaths from natural disasters have collapsed as increasing wealth allows people to better adjust to changing climate and weather. Climate hysteria needs to be understood in the larger context of Westerners being enamored by the idea that we are evil for sinning against Mother Earth, who will eventually take her revenge. This contradicts our history as a species, where growth and technology rather than restraint are what solve problems and increase human flourishing. richardhanania.com/p/climate…
