In a Free Society, the Only Way to Create Wealth is by Helping Others

Veresapiens LogoCreating personal wealth is often characterized as selfish, or even sinful. In fact in the Bible, two separate books of the New Testament contain the quote…

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

In other words, the sellers are in competition to see who can most enrich the lives of the most people.
