  1. I’ve always thought about it like this: You want an economic system that gets the most out of your population. One which gets people creating value is best. Investment is the easiest way to generalize the creation of value, and the US has benefited enormously by aligning incentives for its population to grow business. As the saying goes, the business of America is business

  10.  @Avantime  - A large part of why the US became the biggest economy was because of novel financial instruments. The US is always trying to find ways to put money to work, which is why the 401k was adopted. It is all related to the US trying to maximize the production of the economy.
