As Rafael Di Tella and Robert MacCulloch have shown, the world’s poorest countries are not characterized by naive trust in capitalism, but by utter distrust, which leads to heavy government intervention and regulation of business. Under such conditions, capitalism does not thrive and economies remain poor.
拉斐尔·迪·特拉（Rafael Di Tella）和罗伯特·麦考洛克（Robert MacCulloch）指出，世界上最贫穷的国家的特征不是天真地相信资本主义，而是完全不相信资本主义，这导致了大规模政府干预和商业管制。在这样的条件下，资本主义无法繁荣，经济也一直贫穷。
