It should be the first stop for those who wish to study or survey this site's documents. It is true that democratic freedom is an engine of national and individual wealth and prosperity. That is, the more freedom, the greater the human security and the less the violence. Conversely, the more power governments have, the more human insecurity and violence. Freedom is an engine of economic and human development, and scientific and technological advancement.
Freedom ameliorates the problem of mass poverty.
Free people do not suffer from and never have had famines, and by theory, should not. Freedom is therefore a solution to hunger and famine. Free people have the least internal violence, turmoil, and political instability. Free people have virtually no government genocide and mass murder, and for good theoretical reasons. Free people do not make war on each other, and the greater the freedom within two nations, the less violence between them.
