Wealth and Poverty

Book • 1984
Wealth and Poverty, written by George F. Gilder, is a seminal work that argues for the efficacy of supply-side economics in reducing poverty.

First published in 1981, the book was hailed as 'a guide to capitalism' and has sold over a million copies.

Gilder posits that poverty is not a result of structural economic flaws but rather of the breakdown of family structures and the lack of moral and social responsibilities.

He advocates for the strengthening of male roles in families and the promotion of free-market capitalism as opposed to government-regulated markets.

The book has been updated in a 2012 edition to address contemporary economic challenges and critique big-government policies.
