And yet the twentieth century is often called "The American Century."
Despite it's choice of serfdom in the 30's, apparently the US still
managed to emerge as the most wealthy and influential nation in the
world. Not a bad record for the American brand of "coercive
cooperation."

What was that ideal time in America's pre-1930's history when things
were better than they are now? If you had to go back to that time now
but could not choose whether you would go back as a wealthy white
heterosexual male or a chinese immigrant or a female or a native
American or a black person would you?

Best,
Steve
