Everything we have in the modern civilized world is only possible due to capitalism.  We have personally witnessed one of the most remarkable achievements in human history: between 1970 and 2010 the worst poverty in the world – people who live on one dollar a day or less – has decreased by 80 percent.  It’s the greatest achievement in human history, and you never hear about it.  80%percent of the world’s worst poverty, eradicated in less than 40 years. That has never, ever happened before.
