Debates over wealth differentials and inequality are important for every society as we seek to reduce poverty and guarantee opportunity for all citizens. Yet capitalism is much like what Winston Churchill said of democracy: "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." Capitalism does produce wealth inequalities but has also proven to be the most successful system at wealth creation and opportunity in history. The focus should not be on wealth concentration alone but economic and social barriers to wealth creation.
