Commentary

The moral truth about capitalism was eloquently argued by George Gilder in his 1981 opus “Wealth and Poverty,” which is often referred to as the bible of the Reagan administration. “Not from greed, avarice, or even self-love can one expect the rewards of commerce, but from a spirit closely akin to altruism, a regard for the needs of others, a benevolent, outgoing, and courageous temper of mind.”
