Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.

The line contrasts money as a mere resource with “freedom” as the enabling condition for achievement. Read this way, success is not something purchased or bestowed by wealth; it arises when people have the liberty—legal, political, and economic—to act, work, innovate, and keep the fruits of their effort. The emphasis aligns with a broader anti-poverty and human-rights argument: removing constraints (discrimination, repression, lack of opportunity) can matter more than cash infusions alone. It also implies a critique of systems where capital exists but access to markets, education, or rights is restricted, suggesting that empowerment and agency are the real engines of durable prosperity.
