Wealth and Poverty George Gilder

In Wealth and Poverty, Gilder offers an illuminating discussion of a most critical problem facing society today: how to increase wealth and curtail poverty. He argues that we have been harmfully misled by the popular economic theory of welfare and other economic redistribution programs. Such programs have blighted incentive, creativity, technological adventure, and motivation to the point at which productivity is severely curtailed, and the poor become victims of welfare dependency.
