Brown GOP: ‘Capitalism Without Guilt’ | Wednesday

On Wednesday night, September 28th, the Brown University Republicans are hosting Yaron Brook, President of the Ayn Rand Institute, at the C.V. Starr Auditorium in MacMillan Hall (167 Thayer Street), who will be lecturing on the topic of “Capitalism Without Guilt: The Moral Case for Freedom.” The event begins at 7:00 pm and is FREE and open to the public. The Rhode Island Young Republicans will be there in support, and to participate in this exciting lecture. As always, please join the RI Young Republicans at Paragon Restaurant (234 Thayer Street) for the post-lecture “after-party.”

In the wake of bailouts, stimulus packages, regulatory expansion, and a massive new entitlement program, ObamaCare, many Americans are alarmed by the rapid growth of the state. But previous rebellions against Big Government, such as the “swing to the right” of the 1980s, failed to substantially roll back government intervention in the economy. Will today’s revolt be different? In this talk, Yaron Brook will offer his assessment, based on a revolutionary view of why government intervention grows, and what must be done to stop it. His provocative conclusion: To successfully stop the growth of the state, Americans will have to discover that laissez-faire capitalism is the only moral system – one that must be defended without guilt.
