How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can Make America Great Again

The slogan “Make America Great Again”—first used in a presidential
campaign by Ronald Reagan and later by Donald Trump—resonates
with Republicans. But the slogan appeals on some level to practically all
Americans. Indeed, you’d be hardpressed to find anyone other than a nihilist or a
hardcore leftist who would reject the goal of making America great again.
But neither Reagan nor Trump nor Republicans nor conservatives who
embrace the slogan are able and willing to articulate the principles and policies
that genuinely can make America great again. This is because those principles
and policies are rooted in a secular philosophy of reason and self-interest—which
Republicans, conservatives, and many Americans either ignore or reject.
The philosophy that can make America great again is Ayn Rand’s philosophy
of Objectivism.
What is Objectivism? Why is it the only philosophy that can make America
great again? The answers to these questions are the subject of this book.
How Ayn Rand’s Ideas Can Make America Great Again is a compilation of essays
from The Objective Standard, which have been selected and organized to provide a
quick yet substantial understanding of Objectivism and of how its principles apply
to the major issues facing America today.
I hope you find the book enlightening. If you do, please let your friends know
