New Book from ARI

Winning the Unwinnable War

Winning the Unwinnable War is a provocative new book from the Ayn Rand Institute that offers principled and compelling answers to the problems and confusions that plague American foreign policy. Years after 9/11 and in the shadow of two protracted U.S. military campaigns in the Middle East, the enemy is not only undefeated but emboldened and resurgent. What went wrong—and what should we do going forward? This book is available now for immediate shipping from the Ayn Rand Bookstore.

"Capitalism, as history shows, raises the general standard of living, and men on all levels of ability are rewarded and get much more than they could get under any form of statism or tribal rule. If you want to help Africa, teach them the theory of freedom. Unfortunately it's not what we're exporting today; that's not what we're teaching them. What we're doing is arming them without giving them the right ideology to go with those arms: the ideology of freedom and human rights."
