It was a family business in every sense of the word, started from scratch. She started a small business, a retail clothing and gift store in one of the most rural parts of the state. When I was growing up, my mother did what so many immigrants do. It took them to the town of Bamberg, South Carolina. They wanted to give their children the best shot at the best life. My parents left lives of relative privilege in India to move to America. My family and my home state of South Carolina. I'll start with the people and the place that I know best. While these two camps are different, they are the same in one key respect, both are dangerous to the American people.įor the sake of our children and our grandchildren, America's future must be built on an actual capitalist foundation. The democratic presidential candidates are embracing socialism and some in more traditionally conservative circles are calling for a watered-down version of capitalism. A growing number of people have forgotten this fundamental truth. I came here today with a simple goal to remind us why capitalism is the best economic system the world has ever seen. Hudson is in the forefront of the battle of ideas, ideas about what makes America strong and prosperous, ideas about what makes the world freer and more, and I'm honored to be with you. It's a great pleasure to be at the Hudson Institute. Thank you, John for that kind introduction. Now please join me in welcoming Ambassador Nikki Haley. Following her remarks, she will be joined in conversation with my colleague, Hudson Institute, senior fellow Peter Rough. Today, Ambassador Haley will discuss a topic that's important not just for our country but for the world, the future of capitalism. Since leaving the administration, Ambassador Haley has launched Stand for America, an organization that has become a leading voice, promoting public policies that strengthen America's economy, culture, and national security. For all these accomplishments, Hudson was delighted to honor Ambassador Haley with our 2018 Global Leadership Award. Under her leadership as governor of South Carolina, state became a national leader in economic development including a 15-year unemployment low for the state over $20 billion in new capital investment and leading the nation in foreign capital investment.Īs you know, she's a Clemson Tiger as well and we all know that Clemson’s football team got pretty good under her watch. And she stood proudly with America's allies fighting the malevolent anti-Israel bias at the United Nations. She stood up for human rights, challenging the oppressive regimes in Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and Russia. Ambassador Haley spearheaded negotiations for the passage of the strongest set of sanctions ever placed on North Korea. Reminding many Americans my age of the great UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick who also fought against forces of tyranny and those forces against democracy.
