Hailed as “the guide to capitalism,” the New York Times bestseller Wealth and Poverty is one of the most influential economics books of all time and has marketed several million copies since its initial release. In this modern traditional, Gilder affirms the moral superiority of free-market capitalism and points out why supply-side economics works more effectively at reducing poverty than government-regulated marketplaces.

Now, in a completely updated model of Prosperity and Poverty, Gilder compares America’s current economic issues with its former economic problems-particularly those of the late 1970s-and points out why Obama’s big-government, redistributive procedures are doing even more harm than good for the poor.

Making the situation that supply-side economics and free of charge market place policies are-and always will be-the answer to reducing America’s poverty rate and increasing her prosperity, Wealth and Poverty offers answers to America’s current economic problems and hope to those who fear that our perfect days are behind us.
