Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
Rand and her associates make the moral case for laissez-faire capitalism. Not just the practical case — the moral case. Capitalism, she argues, is the only social system consistent with individual rights, rational self-interest, and human flourishing. Includes Alan Greenspan's pre-Fed essay on gold and economic freedom.
This is one of the most important works in the liberty tradition — essential for any serious student of free markets and individual rights.
