I believe in the philosophy of Objectivism, In a nut shell, Wikipedia defines it as thus:
"that the proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness or rational self-interest; that the only social system consistent with this morality is full respect for individual rights, embodied in pure laissez faire capitalism"
Here's the link to the Wikipedia page for an in depth explanation:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectiv…Put simply, if everybody aims to benefit themselves, then the standard of life would improve.
As one of the characters in Ayn Rand's book, Atlas Shrugged says:
"I swear — by my life and my love of it — that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."
