Socialists have a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they know, wealth just exists somehow, and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it.

社會主義者對財富是如何被創造出來缺乏興趣。 依他們所見，財富只是以某種方式存在的，唯一有趣的問題是如何重新分配它。

更長段落

No government of the left has done as much for the poor as capitalism has. Even when it comes to the redistribution of income, the left talks the talk but the free market walks the walk. What do the poor most need? They need to stop being poor. And how can that be done, on a mass scale, except by an economy that creates vastly more wealth? Yet the political left has long had a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they are concerned, wealth exists somehow and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it.

沒有哪個左派政府為窮人做了像資本主義一樣多。 即使在收入再分配方面，左派總是說得天花亂墜，但自由市場卻真正地做到了。 窮人最需要什麼？ 他們需要停止貧困。 而且，除了通過創造巨大財富的經濟之外，如何在大規模上實現這一目標呢？ 然而，政治左翼長期以來對如何創造財富缺乏興趣。 在他們看來，財富以某種方式存在，唯一有趣的問題是如何重新分配它。
