Description
:
Prosperity.
"is the gradual extension of the division of labour through the free exchange of goods and ideas,
and the consequent introduction of efficiencies by the invention of new technologies.
This is the process that has given us health, wealth and wisdom
on a scale unimagined by our ancestors.
It not only raises material standards of living, it also fuels social integration,
fairness and charity. It has never failed yet", 'dangerous idea', edge.org
