@@kalechips5972 ​ No, he means that man was supposed to talk about the primary foundation of wealth creation and accruement in the United States up until present day, when all he did was make examplistic expository in favor that weren't well explained with the precise mechanisms, methodologies, and counterparts, appropriation of resources, the revenue sources, what those sources were, and in the governmental usage methodologies and principles underlying thereof in what way they pertained to the making thereof. For example, the Transcontinental Railroad, specifically Union Pacific went bankrupt multiple times, and significant portions of the railroad had to be reconstructed after shoddy construction methods and materials were used after securing the contract from the Government, while James J. Hill built a sturdy railroad from St. Paul, Minnesota to Seattle, Washington, The Great Northern Railway with no Federal aid whatsoever which remained in Business for almost 100 years until 1970 when it was bought by other railroads, which most likely wasn't because the company wasn't unprofitable because that was the same exact year when Amtrak was initialized. When the US government was given the Telegraph system to own and operate from Samuel Morse himself, it succeeded in losing money every month. During 1845 expenditures exceeded 6 to 1 profit yield on the sole mechanism closest to instantaneous communication with numerous commercialistic applications, until Congress itself turned the Telegraph company over to Private Enterprise. The populace of the United States was majority rural until 1910, and you'd have to justify expenditures to them. How does industrialization justify taxing farmers and rural communities? Will individual revenue, for their families, wives, sons, daughters, and their dream of becoming a successful land-owning farmer, as well as countless others to be unaffected, be taken monetarily from their ability to heighten livelihoods?

Slavery was actually largely agricultural because it was very profitable for cotton farms this is why during the American civil war the union was eventually able to overwhelm the south. Because while the north who had banned slavery was industrializing the South had stagnated and stayed agricultural and this is largely why they ultimately lost. After the war the self actually started to boom and industrialize but only after there was no more slavery.

Before WWI, which coincided with the founding of the Fed, and setting aside the emergency of the Civil War, the USA was a night watchman state with low taxes, and immense personal freedom. In most of America, the only law enforcement was a part-time sheriff. The main exception to what I have just written was the tariff wall the USA erected around itself. American manufactured goods were protected from (mainly British) foreign competition. I do NOT agree with Prestowitz when he claims that the USA before 1950 was more or less like China today. China is not at all a democracy, and has a heavy intrusive and punitive public sector.

People had prices. Slavery was just a reiteration of Feudalism, in the sense that everyone paid the master, and slaves were given housing and food. In Europe, to no longer be apart of feudalism, their was a high struggle to have your labor accepted in a free-town or apply for apprenticeship of a tradesman, no one, the Lord included, held it against you if you moved, as the foundation of Feudalism in Europe was on mutual protection which evolved into systemic Feudalism. A tradesman becoming a blacksmith in one town was due to demand and ability to pay in bartering or currency. Villages weren't looked at as something to be micromanaged by the Lord. No one babied you. You were either good, or fired and moved on. Germany was the China of Europe at one time, producing cheap goods for the rest of Europe. Murder and high crimes carried capital punishment that at one point caused the systemic removal of those overwhelmingly from the bottom 1% on individualistic bases of capital crimes. Their was an understanding that as long as you didn't deliberately severely harm people, you were allowed to live.

The thing is.... People don’t understand that Slavey has a bigger impact on the Caribbean islands more than America. If you dig deep enough you’ll see how laws in the south didn’t apply the same in the north. However, Caribbean islands had about a 90% higher slavery population than in America. Jim Crow was heavily pushed in southern states but the North had always had a history of “liberalism”

Crock of shit. Government financed operations, even land grant operations, operated much more inefficiently and failed far more often than privately financed operations did. And five separate studies now have found that infrastructure spending (canals, roads, rail, etc.) is a LAGGING indicator, it shows how rich the economy already is, not how rich it's going to be.

I can understand feeling completely undermined by him not mentioning slavery… However, I am confused why there are so many comments about it as if it has something to do with the wealth of America specifically. When asking why America is rich, we are also asking what did America do different that caused it to grow wealth in a way other nations didn’t. Considering how America didn’t really come into its own as we know it today until post WW2, slavery isn’t an explanation. Slavery existed everywhere before 1831 when the British made it illegal. Why isn’t Brazil as rich as the US if slavery explains it? They had far more slaves than we ever did and many more decades of the practice, not made illegal until 1881. Slavery doesn’t have really anything to do with the title of video or the underlying question of where did America get all of the money and influence and I think the number one thing is turning us into a society of ungrateful consumers who just want more, more and more when we were the only ones who could make the goods and buy them… This creates a positive feedback loop for businesses to invent things we don’t need but want and will enslave ourselves with debt to have.

The rise of the American economy is not an isolated instance. Other nations that have grown rich over the past 150 years include the EU (excepting parts of the Balkans), Scandinavia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and the oil sheikdoms. The USA "came into its own during the half century between the end of the Civil War, and its entry into WW1 in 1917. Brazil is a powerful counterexample to the contention that slavery, by allowing a significant fraction of the workforce to be underpaid, enabled slaveowners, and hence all of society to grow rich.

Lots of reasons, but here are a few: 1640 - 1863: Free Labor (better known as “Slavery”) 1880 - 1920s: “The Great Wave” Immigration Boom, where the best, brightest, and most motivated people from around the world came to make better lives for themselves in America 1914 - 1945: US infrastructure left largely intact while supplying major European powers with war materials, so they could destroy themselves.

Vasting You're kidding, right? The United States made ungodly amounts of money supplying war materials, especially in WWI: American industry in WWI boomed; in just four year, US exports to Europe rose from $1.479 billion dollars to $4.062 billion dollars. The private sector saw a significant increase in demand for supplies for the American army during the war. Contracts from the Army and Navy, for things like food, clothing, guns, and ammunition, increased rapidly. As a direct result, federal spending in the US also saw a swift increase, from $477 million in 1916 to its peak in 1918 of $8.450 billion.

Also the northern free states are richer than the southern states that used to have slaves. So it clearly wasn't slavery.

The North is more powerful because the South basically refused to industrialize during the 19th century. Instead, southern cotton traveled northward to industrial and shipping centers like Boston and New York, who used cheap southern cotton to build up massive textile industries. America did benefit massively from slavery, the south didn't because it was just making the raw resources, not adding the value.

I understand that people want to make a point about government being in peoples lives for the good of humanity; and there has never been a time in history where gov. was absent. But to try to make the 1800's appear as if there was this massive role of gov. in the shaping of America is weak. Leaving aside the crap that happened back then (slavery, Native Americans, etc.) We remember the 1800's as the wild wild west in terms of personal enterprise. And in comparison to today IT WAS! That's why most people don't want to go back and repeal all of the laws we have now (progressive income tax, social security, welfare, medicaid, etc.) If we did we would all raise our hands and say that we were going back to the 1800's! And our focus on consumption rather than investment is going to come back and bite us (that is unless you really believe the Keynesian garbage).

Onlly a small elite became rich. There was a span of about 3 decades where the average “white” American actually had a fair chance at a good life from the end of WWII to about 1980. That was due to new deal policies by FDR. The death spiral of the middle class began with Reagan when they started dismantling the New Deal. Today we are in the death throws of late state capitalism. Today the average American suffers under corporate totalitarianism where the state and its politicians are under total corporate control. It’s unsustainable and America will be lucky to survive another 10 years. Americans know that their press lies to them everyday.

No, slavery did not make America rich… the only wealth slavery produces is the kind of wealth that made the Romans relatively wealthy, cultivating and farming land. Slavery has been a constant for all of human history and within all cultures and civilizations. The freedom we grant to humans generally conceptually today is so new historically speaking, we are the weird ones to think of each other as we do. ,The kind of wealth we know today is only possible because of the elimination of slavery. Slavery hindered economic progress for all of humanity because it killed incentives to industrialize and get more efficient. It got the job done. It’s not until mechanization and the industrial revolution where eventually it becomes more economically viable to use technology. This frees up human capital which increases the likelihood of someone creating something even better. It is why the richest countries today are facilitators and service economies. The facilitating is so efficient one company can have a process like Apple to make iPhones where the involvement becomes basically having the know-how of the process and reaping the profits. Slavery makes all of this impossible and keeps societies largely agrarian.
