Rainer Zitelmann shows how contrary to popular opinion capitalism is a force for good, enabling prosperity, alleviating poverty and improving people's lives around the world.

A companion volume to the author's seminal work, In Defence of Capitalism, this book explores the achievements of capitalism across five continents, and demonstrates its success in providing a true platform for economic growth and development. In the words of the subtitle, capitalism is not the problem, but the solution.

With foreword by Arthur B. Laffer and Brian Domitrovic.
