"Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think."

~ Ayn Rand

Since August of 2002, The Rational Argumentator online magazine has defended free markets, free enterprise, and unfettered laissez-faire capitalism from those who opposed entrepreneurs' right to non-coercively live and produce as they saw fit. One of TRA's endeavors has always been the defense of innovative, honest, prudent, and courageous businessmen. Yet one who defends business must also know what business is about; the champion of free enterprise needs to know the wonders that free enterprise creates in the world and the way that entrepreneurial innovation from all over the world raises everyone's standards of living. The defender of laissez-faire capitalism should be informed about business in the United States and the Western world— but also about business in areas where free enterprise is beginning to gather momentum: areas like India, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Russia. 

The Rational Business Journal was founded on June 10, 2006, to inform rational individuals of business-related events and to celebrate the work of industrious and innovative entrepreneurs worldwide. It features the articles of Dr. Bill Belew— a teacher, scholar, and citizen of the world with extensive experience of Asian countries and business. Hopefully, his writings will strengthen the resolve of champions of free enterprise and give them some information about the values that they are defending.

The Rational Business Journal is a collaborative effort among The Rational Argumentator and Dr. Bill Belew's blogs: PanAsianBiz, ZhongHuaRising, RisingSunofNihon, and TheBizofKnowledge.
