Long read, but quite interesting. What makes some groups more economically successful than others? Ill let you read to find out, but Ill share what was an unexpected but obvious twist at the end: The United States itself was born [with the factors that lead to success]... But prosperity and power had their predictable effect, eroding [those factors]. By 2000, all that remained was our superiority complex, which by itself is mere swagger, fueling a culture of entitlement and instant gratification. Those who talk of America’s “decline” miss this crucial point. America has always been at its best when it has had to overcome adversity and prove its mettle on the world stage. For better and worse, it has that opportunity again today. nytimes/2014/01/26/opinion/sunday/what-drives-success.html?ref=opinion&_r=1
