Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world.

The people that does not care for its children or grandparents is a people that has not future. Because it doesn't have the strength or the memory to go forward.
