It’s not apples and oranges. America was far more prosperous than South Korea or Japan in 1945. But it didn’t get that way by being happy.

I think you missed my point: In 1945, western Europe and Japan were largely in ruins, so they could rebuild with then-modern technology and not be held back by the curse of the installed base.

(What have you got against being happy?)
