Then the Nazis forced thousands of intellectuals to flee and the Cold War gave the us the incentive to prove we really the land of opportunity, so the government invested in education. Now most of our graduate students in the sciences will probably move back to their home countries in Asia and when our scientists start retiring, that will be the death knell of American technological dominance.
The guru of economic conservatives, James M. Buchanan, was allowed to redesign Chile’s economy after a dictator took over the country. The poverty rate doubled.
