There’s a new PBS documentary that you may have seen, called “The New Recruits,” about efforts of free-market advocates to bring capitalism to the developing world. It’s not easy, but the documentary shows how a few dedicated market proponents can make a difference even in dire conditions.
No economic system has produced greater prosperity for more people than the free market system. All else is merely the re-distribution of under-production, stagnation, and poverty.
In Forbes online, there’s mention of the documentary, in a post entitled, Capitalist Do-Gooders vs. Poverty – Warts and All. It’s not an easy road, but no economic system offers more hope for humanity.
Here’s the trailer for the PBS documentary:
