Screen Print: The Guild Theatre

Artist’s proof of The Guild Theatre in Portland, Oregon. Originally opened as the Taylor Street Theatre, it was operating as the Guild Theatre since 1948, and was renovated in 1956.

The free-market operates in such a way so that as one man creates more wealth for himself, he simultaneously creates more wealth and opportunities for everyone else, which means that as the rich become richer, the poor become richer. It must be understood that capitalism serves the economic self-interests of all, including the non-capitalists.
