No single approach results in the 'best' decisions, and I'm not sure what the "global economy" and the "United States' represents in this case - both are very large collections of various people and interests.

The U.S. does have a very strong emphasis on freedom, you know, and has done very well with the free market and free trade - no country, in aggregate, has gotten richer following any system in the history of the world. Truly.

I'm open to improvements that distribute benefits better, but what do you suggest would work better?
