Tracinski - A rising faction of the right blames "liberalism" and reason for all of our problems and advocates a return to traditionalism and nationalism. But what does such a traditional society actually look like, and what does the war in Ukraine reveal about the conservative "nationalist" cause?

Join The Atlas Society for a special discussion on the war between Russia and Ukraine. Listen and Dr. Richard Salsman and Robert Tracinski discuss Objectivist interpretations of America’s foreign policy and their differing opinions in a civil and open manner. Professor Salsman argues that Ukraine does not deserve U.S. help and based on America’s national self-interest it should NOT get involved in the conflict, at present. Robert Tracinski, on the other hand, advances that America should be doing more to curtail a blatantly aggressive Vladimir Putin and provide more assistance for Ukraine. Our founder, Dr. David Kelley, will moderate as the duo will present their understanding of the history that has led up to the current conflict and what foreign policy options should be pursued to bring resolution.

Join Senior Scholar and Professor of Economics at Duke, Dr. Richard Salsman where Dr. Salsman will propose an alternative to America’s current foreign policy from an egoistic “America First” perspective where America does not act with “humanitarian” (altruistic) motives in service to other countries.

"ההסתמכות העולמית הגוברת על נפט וגז יקרים יותר ויותר מרוסיה תדלקה את תוקפנותה הזרה. כפי שהיה נכון לגבי עריצי המזרח התיכון העשירים בנפט בשנות ה-70, בעלת הברית הגדולה ביותר של רוסיה הייתה פעילי איכות הסביבה, שבהיותם אנטי-קפיטליסטים, מתנגדים בדיוק לאנרגיות שמניעות בצורה הטובה ביותר את תשתיות ההון: דלקי מאובנים ואנרגיה גרעינית. במקום שכלכלות מפותחות ישתמשו בצורות האנרגיה השופעות, הזולות, הבטוחות והאמינות הללו, שוחרי איכות הסביבה מעדיפים להסתמך על צורות ימי-ביניימיות, טרום-תעשייתיות - רוח, מים, שמש - בידיעה שהקפיטליזם ימות על ידי השימוש הנרחב בהן".
