His solution is a free market, which I have no problem with. But I have doubts when people claim that a free market will result in a "better" society because this argument is subject to the same pitfall as every other system, namely that you can't determine "better" rigorously.

The free market is the only option that lets the poor choose the definition of better for themselves.

QFT! I'm not arrogant enough to think that I know what would make the lives of the poor of the world better. I give to charity mostly because it makes me feel better about myself and somewhat in the hope that it makes others feel better according to their own personal standards.
