Every nation on the Earth that embraces market economics and the free enterprise system is pulling millions of its people out of poverty. The free enterprise system creates prosperity, not denies it.

I'm a capitalist by conviction and profession. I believe the best economic system is one that rewards entrepreneurship and risk-taking, maximizes customer choice, uses markets to allocate scarce resources and minimizes the regulatory burden on business.

The American free market system is the greatest engine for prosperity and opportunity that the world has ever seen. Freedom works.

Free-enterprise capitalism is the most powerful system for social cooperation and human progress ever conceived. It is one of the most compelling ideas we humans have ever had. But we can aspire to something even greater.

The advantage of the free market system is that people invest their capital, they create jobs by investing their capital, and hopefully they get a return on that investment. I don't think there's anything wrong with good old American capitalism.

Free enterprise makes people prosperous, all people prosperous, and big government makes people poorer.

Free enterprise cannot only make us better off financially, it can make us better people.

I think the market driven economic system is the most productive system, but to have that work in the world, you've got to also have social investments to go along with that.

There's nothing wrong with the free-enterprise system. But it has to have some compassion.

In my book I don't just demonstrate that free enterprise is the most efficient way of organizing an economy - which it is. I also show that it's an expression of American values, and, thus, that a fight for free enterprise is very much a fight for our culture.
