Here's a brain teaser for investors: What enabled the United States to ascend to superpower status?
Was it the inherent genetic superiority of Americans? Perhaps it was the nation's work ethic? Was it the vast and ample nature resources, or generally favorably climate? Or perhaps is was the nation's location, bordered by two, large oceans that discouraged many who had thoughts of launching an assault?
