We encourage you to comment on, share and “ follow” the column. The following is an excerpt from a recent article.

February 25, 2013: “Capitalism in No Way Created Poverty, It Inherited It”

The 19th century, many people believe, was an era in American history when workers were forced to toil in sweatshops twenty-eight hours a day for starvation wages. It was only when governments intervened, either directly on behalf of workers or indirectly by empowering unions, that conditions improved. The facts tell a different story—one that reveals the unmatched power of capitalism to improve human life. Remember the historical context. As Ayn Rand reminds us, “Capitalism did not create poverty—it inherited it.” For much of human history, the vast majority of the population was mired in poverty. All too often, the average individual lived in unimaginably wretched conditions. It was only in the 19th century, and then only in the West, that the masses started to enjoy prosperity.
