Is GREED a better motive to lifting people out of poverty than COMPASSION?

I use the term "GREED" here for dramatic effect (surprise! It's GFY! ) The term SELF-INTEREST will probably be just as effective.

Anyway, do you think SELF-INTEREST as expressed by MARKETS and EXCHANGE does a better job of lifting people out of chronic poverty than COMPASSION?

Another thing to think about: BILLIONS have been poured into global anti-poverty programs with (in general) dismal results.
