This is the first time I've heard that the financial system has lifted "billions" of people out of poverty.

I thought that the financial system was the consequences of wealth rather than the cause (otherwise this doesn't explain why none of the African stock exchange are fighting with NYSE for the most attractive stock market)

Private property, law, and markets is what lifts people out of poverty.

Wealth inequality is a side effect as some people do better than others.
