Omnipresent economics gadfly James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute has an interesting post on economic growth in the US versus other areas over a veerrryy long time.
It's pretty cool that our poor, downtrodden US of A outperforms the rest of the world without even breaking a sweat. Only Europe comes close and it isn't really that close.
My other observation is that I wonder how guys and gals like Pethokoukis find the time in their day to appear as talking heads on television, write copious amounts of research and observation, and still stop at the 7-Eleven on the way home for milk? There are dozens of folks out there like that and I'll bet you can name some too. My jealous hat is off to them for their raw productivity.
