There is only one way to foster a world more conducive to free markets with respect for individuals' lives and their property rights: advocate a morality that would lead necessarily to that type of society. In other words, by advocating a morality of rational self interest, i.e. the ethics of Objectivism.
It's a slow process but there really are no short cuts, for evidence see the United States of America. While she was built on respect for the individual, his property and the freedom to trade, all of this has rested on the morality of altruism and thus her freedoms have continued to recede, bit by bit, along the slippery slope of "the public good".
Certainly some kind of short cut such as a powerful UN that tramples on the rights of sovereign nations does not make sense. I only wish the UN were merely "useless", i.e. benign, unfortunately it is much worse than that.

Hi, TheBucket: Again, can you please respect the needs of the site and not use a mere category or discussion topic for your question title?
Is the UN a topic, because if it is I will not use it, thanks
Questions of course have topics like "The UN", but topics aren't questions. If it isn't a proper subject-predicate sentence with a question-mark at the end, you're probably doing it wrong. ;^)
