Article in The Objectivist Standard

I read an article in The Objective Standard by Ari Armstrong (www.theobjectivestandard.com). Mr. Armstrong's article was critiquing an article written by another author. The article that came under Mr. Armstrong's scrutiny declared that the United States' wealth was due to luck. The article collectivised the issue of wealth and poverty and also presumed a malevolent universe where failure is to be expected. Mr. Armstrong's critique failed to address either one of these core issues and was therefore rhetorically ineffective. What Mr. Armstrong should have written was that wealth and poverty are individual issues and that since the universe is benevolent and success is to be expected wealth and poverty are not matters of luck but of diligence. You're welcome
