Yaron Brook
chairman of the board, Ayn Rand Institute; host, The Yaron Brook Show; co-author, In Pursuit of Wealth: the moral case for finance

Yaron Brook is chairman of the board of the Ayn Rand Institute. He wears many hats at the institute and travels extensively as ARI’s spokesman. Yaron can be heard on The Yaron Brook Show, which airs live on YouTube and Spreaker. He is also a frequent guest on national radio and television programs.

In addition to podcasting and speaking globally, Yaron authors works that inspire critical thinking. His most recent book, In Pursuit of Wealth: the moral case for finance, makes the case that few industries are more vital to our prosperity – and more maligned – than the financial industry. Yaron and co-author Don Watkins explain why finance has faced so much criticism, and why, despite the conventional image of financiers as ‘greedy’ and reckless, finance is a moral industry. Yaron and Don also authored national best seller Free Market Revolution: how Ayn Rand’s ideas can end big government and Equal Is Unfair: America’s misguided fight against income inequality.

Yaron is a contributing author to Neoconservatism: an obituary for an idea, Winning the Unwinnable War: America’s self-crippled response to Islamic totalitarianism, and Big Tent: the story of the conservative revolution — as told by the thinkers and doers who made it happen.

Yaron was also a columnist at Forbes.com, and his articles have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Investor’s Business Daily and many other publications. He serves on the boards of the Ayn Rand Institute and on the board of the Clemson Institute for the Study of Capitalism. He is a member of the Association of Private Enterprise Education and the Mont Pelerin Society.
