How to Start a Business

Guess which crack pot this is from!

“I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty but leading or driving them out of it.  In my youth I traveled much, I observed in different countries that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer.  And on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves and became richer.”
