Liberty: Antidote to Poverty

By Antonella Marty

Two hundred years ago, 90 percent of human beings lived in conditions we now classify as extreme poverty. Since the emergence of free-market capitalism, this figure has plummeted to 9 percent. This fact should be celebrated and studied more than it is. When curious minds grapple with the question, How has prosperity replaced poverty in so many places? they discover the miracles of free enterprise-eloquently described in Antonella Marty's important new book-including how the profit motive fosters cooperation and innovation, all to satisfy human wants and needs.

Atlas Network is privileged to collaborate with hundreds of think tanks across the globe that are working toward a free, prosperous, and peaceful world where the principles of individual liberty, property rights, limited government, and free markets are secured by the rule of law. Our independent partners are well-positioned to use their local knowledge to remove barriers that prevent people in low-income communities from thriving. This important work merits the attention and support of all who genuinely care for the hundreds of millions of people remaining in poverty today.

We need to make the case that it is classical liberalism, and the free institutions upon which it depends, that can deliver social mobility, legal equality, and dignity to all people. It is gratifying that young leaders like Antonella Marty are bringing new energy to this effort. It is in our hands to raise up the cause of human freedom and prosperity to secure a more peaceful and prosperous future. -Brad Lips, CEO, Atlas Network
