“Wealth is created when we use existing resources in new ways. Since such creativity is virtually limitless, wealth is too.”
“Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship...the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.”
“That is why it could happen anywhere, given the right ingredients: particular people in government, competing with others- or with each other- over natural and wealth-creating resources.”
“Wealth is good, and if it comes our way we will take it; but a gentleman does not sell himself for wealth.”
“The best way to protect yourself and your family in this time of uncertainty is to create wealth for yourself.”
“With deregulation, privatisation, free trade, what we're seeing is yet another enclosure and, if you like, private taking of the commons. One of the things I find very interesting in our current debates is this concept of who creates wealth. That wealth is only created when it's owned privately. What would you call clean water, fresh air, a safe environment? Are they not a form of wealth? And why does it only become wealth when some entity puts a fence around it and declares it private property? Well, you know, that's not wealth creation. That's wealth usurpation.”
