How the Bourgeois Deal Enriched the World

Standards of living today are much higher than they used to be. Why? Contrary to what you might have heard, the Great Enrichment didn't happen because of things like slavery, saving, and science. Rather, even the poorest among us are vastly richer than their ancestors because we embraced what Adam Smith called 'the liberal plan of equality, liberty, and justice.’
