In the "age of globalization" mentioned yesterday (starting ~1980), more free & open markets are available. People dream of starting their own business and making it a success, but they are held back if they live in a command-type society where no person-owned business is allowed by government. Freer economies provide many more opportunities.
When more people are free to dream about prospering, their society has more prosperity.
Cambodia's story is a great example. Check out the series from last fall:
Cambodia 1
Cambodia 2
Cambodia 3
Cambodia 4
Mr. Lim (owner of a tourism business) says in "Cambodia 4" that his country prospered because of freedom, technology, and the "entrepreneurial spirit of the Cambodian people."
