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.

"The essence of capitalism's foreign policy is free trade—i.e., the abolition of trade barriers, of protective tariffs, of special privileges—the opening of the world's trade routes to free international exchange and competition among the private citizens of all countries dealing directly with one another. During the nineteenth century, it was free trade that liberated the world, undercutting and wrecking the remnants of feudalism and the statist tyranny of absolute monarchies."
