    Gratitude, Productivity & the American Spirit — A Thanksgiving Special with Yaron 

    Thanksgiving isn’t about guilt, collective duty, or mystical gratitude. It’s about earned pride—a celebration of human achievement, abundance, and the uniquely American spirit of production.

    In this Thanksgiving special, Yaron breaks down the holiday’s real meaning, its capitalist roots, its connection to Ayn Rand’s philosophy… and why gratitude matters most when it’s grounded in values you’ve earned.

    Plus: reflections on Black Friday, wealth creation, innovation, benevolence, and a fascinating Q&A with listeners around the world.

  • Self-Interest vs. Extremism: Yaron Brook on Capitalism, Cronyism & Individual Rights | Sitch & Adam
    Yaron Interviewed by Adam Friended of the Sitch & Adam Show
    🎙️ Recorded live November 18, 2025 on the Sitch & Adam Show https://youtu.be/HCaLtaSvDzQ
    📺 Watch Now / Comment: https://youtu.be/BQZvoo-4S0Q

    Why is rational self-interest moral? Why is capitalism blamed for problems it didn’t cause? And why are both the Left and the Right drifting toward dangerous, illiberal ideologies?

    In this lively and thought-provoking conversation, Yaron Brook joins Adam Friended & PSA Sitch to dismantle the biggest modern myths about liberalism, altruism, capitalism, status, morality, dictatorship, and global politics.

    Brook breaks down why self-sacrifice is not a virtue, how individualism outperforms collectivism, why the GOP continues to lose ground, how AI will transform the economy, and why authoritarian movements are rising on both sides of the political spectrum.

    He draws a clear line between genuine capitalism and cronyism, arguing that today’s economic problems—inequality, stagnation, corruption—are not products of free markets but of government intervention and the dysfunction of a mixed economy.

    Yaron also warns about the growing influence of extremist ideologies inside major political parties. Instead of tribalism or authoritarian impulses, he argues for a renewed commitment to individual rights, a rational political philosophy, and possibly a new political movement capable of addressing core issues like healthcare, immigration, and economic freedom with moral clarity and intellectual honesty.
