Poverty has fallen 80 percent since 1970. So what’s responsible for the greatest anti-poverty achievement in world history? Capitalism.

Five innovations have pulled billions out of poverty: globalization, free trade, property rights, the rule of law, and entrepreneurship.

Is globalization hurting the U.S. economy? No, in fact, globalization has benefited the economy by over $2 trillion since 1950. 

Free trade means open access to markets and people all around the world—that benefits everyone, particularly the U.S.

Protecting property rights is essential to maintaining a thriving economy as it promotes economic activity and long-term investment.

One key reason America has thrived economically is our commitment to the rule of law, protecting businesses from the whims of the state.

Entrepreneurship is the creativity of free people to dream up new products that we never knew we wanted or needed.

Is free trade hurting the country? Just the opposite. Increasing imports while decreasing exports has improved America’s standard of living.
