“Too much of the development debate is looking at the question of poverty: How do we define it? What are the causes of poverty? But the real question about poverty is the question of wealth: how do we create wealth? So this is the question that Adam Smith addressed in his famous book The Wealth of Nations: what causes that wealth?”
“What lifts the poor is the creation of wealth and the empowerment and the dignity and the self-reliance that comes from that.”
