What ideological perspective is presented in the following source?"Human labor applied to natural resources is the only way to produce food,...

This passage is written by someone who believes strongly
in capitalism.  This writer clearly disagrees with the idea of socialism for economic
reasons.  The ideology that disagrees with socialism most vigorously on economic issues
is capitalism.

Capitalists believe that a free market
system is the system that will do the best job of raising standards of living for people
everywhere.  They scoff at socialists because socialists believe that the government can
regulate the economy in ways that will allow it to do a better job of providing for
people.  This perspective can be seen in the passage you have given us.  In that
passage, the author argues that socialism will drive people into poverty because it does
not encourage the production of goods and services the way that capitalism
does.
