...make it possible by providing the freedom and incentives to invent
those things.
Or, I suppose, you could argue that it was pure coincedence that
nearly all - ALL - of the most important inventions of the last
100-200 years occured in relatively free and relatively capitalist
countries, with a huge and disproportionate amount of it in the US,
the freest and most capitalist (perhaps along with England through
much of the 19th Cent.).
Or, as you usually do, you could just babble and whine incoherently
because as I've said many times before - you are too stupid to argue
with.
