Statistics show that Americans are more productive that almost any other people, but is that because they work harder? No; it's because they are better capitalized. Someone saved and invested so they have machines to increase their prosperity. And the savers were not all Americans. I wonder how many people realize that much of the development of the U.S. in the 19th cent. was financed by foreign investors, chiefly British. Obviously they would not have invested if they knew they didn't have the rule of law and the high ethics of a Christian American population protecting their investment.
