Do the poor resent the rich? (Friedman)

December 11th, 2008  |  Published in Economics, Politics, Quotes

The world’s poor do not resent the rich anywhere as much as the left-wing parties in the developed world imagine. What they resent is not having any pathway to get rich and join the flat world and cross that line into the middle class.

—Thomas Friedman, The World is Flat (2005), p. 384.
