Quoted context
These are the quoted author’s words.
My column on Venezuela in @TheEconomist “Prosperity does not come from oil, decrees or even benevolent rulers. It comes from rights. Rights create private property. Rights create security. Rights create debate. Rights allow people to invest, to innovate, to dream—and to transform reality. Take rights away, and society withers. Restore them, and recovery is possible.” https://t.co/BuPYeGVGKs
