Wealth and Poverty is a best-selling 1981 non-fiction book by investor and author George Gilder.
After completing Visible Man in the late 1970s Gilder began writing "The Pursuit of Poverty."
[7] In Wealth and Poverty, Gilder extended the sociological and anthropological analysis of his early books in which he had advocated for the socialization of men into service to women through work and marriage.
"Capitalism begins with giving," he asserted, but New Deal liberalism created moral hazard.
[9]Wealth and Poverty advanced a practical and moral case[citation needed] for supply-side economics and capitalism during the early months of the Reagan administration.
