...here are a list of drivers that I think played a major role in shaping the way today's economy differs from that of thirty years ago.

1. The personal computer's evolution
2. The Internet's evolution
3. The stratification of marriage, with college-educated people marrying one another and less educated women having children out of wedlock.
4. The fall of the Communism in Eastern Europe, and the rise of capitalism in India and China.

I cannot think of any U.S. government policies that have any significance in comparison to those developments.
from "Important Economic Drivers of the Past Thirty Years", by Arnold Kling

Perhaps the most comprehensive study to date, which was conducted in 1997 and analyzed 22 countries, found that a 25 percent increase in child-related subsidies to couples resulted in an average of 0.07 more births per woman.

а арабы может и не громко распевают, но продолжают гонять по пустыне на лимузинах ;)

и причина их процветания, конечно же суверенный капитализм и демократия ;) кто против короля - тот Аль Каида, руби башка

Есть Кувейт, есть Саудовская Аравия, есть Иран и есть Ирак. Разница существенная, запасы нефти у всех есть.

Важно не правительство, а экономическая система. Если устроить революцию и изменить экономические отношения, изменится и результат.

Только это чаще всего связано со сменой правительства. Тут только хитрые Китайцы вовремя подсуетились.
