Book cover for A Matter of Simple Justice

On Capitalism

I believe in the American system of entrepreneurial capitalism. It is this system, coupled with our democracy and rule of law, which has made the U.S. economy the largest and most dynamic in the world and brought our country unprecedented prosperity. It is this system which makes the American dream a reality.
- The Honorable Barbara Hackman Franklin
