Yaron Lectures: Morality of Capitalism - Live From Bratislava

The world is moving away from Capitalism, not from lack of understanding of economics, but because the conventional morality regards it as evil. Yaron debunks that by showing that selfishness is not lying, stealing, cheating, etc., but using your reason to figure out the best life for yourself and interacting with others in mutually beneficial win-win relationships.<br /><br />Recorded on February 22, 2023 at the University of Brno in Komenského nám. 2, 602 00 Brno-střed, Czechia.<br /><br />00:00 Intro <br />00:49 Yaron's intro<br />04:25 Free markets work<br />10:24 Why is world moving away from free markets?<br />14:53 Markets are about self interest<br />22:05 Capitalism goes against the conventional morality<br />28:15 Bill Gates vs Mother Teresa<br />33:33 We cannot win as long as self interest is considered immoral<br />34:30 Ayn Rand's contribution to freedom movement<br />37:04 Conventional vs Rand's view of self interest, see http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/selfishness.html<br />39:34 Reason, see http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/reason.html<br />45:15 Being crook is horrible<br />48:50 Moral defense of Capitalism, see http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/capitalism.html<br />51:27 Why do we regulate business?<br />53:05 We need moral revolution <br />Live Questions:<br />56:56 Sweatshops<br />1:08:10 How to learn about Ayn Rand<br />1:10:55 Businessman cheating<br />1:15:10 Marx, Wage slavery <br />1:22:00 Intersectionality<br />1:24:40 Sacrificing to nature<br />1:27:27 Environmentalism<br />1:34:40 Was Jesus a Capitalist?<br />1:37:00 Outro<br />Show is Sponsored by Ayn Rand University https://university.aynrand.org/ as well as by https://www.expressvpn.com/yaron &amp; https://www.fountainheadcasts.com<br /><br />Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/@YaronBrook/join<br /><br />Like what you hear?
