“…Countries that want to move from poverty toward prosperity must produce more goods and service of value... the genius of a free-market system is that it does not try to compel people to work. It rather leaves people free to choose to work and it rewards that work by letting people keep the fruits of their labor.” - Poverty of the Nations, On a Free-Market System
