I look forward to Americans realizing that it was the dollar all along at some point in the next fifty years.

Well in fifty years, I likely won’t be here judging by life expectancy numbers… so I guess it’s a moot point for me.

Kidding aside, it’s a whole bunch of pieces. Including the dollar, including the friendly regulatory environment, including friendly tax treatment for founders (which European nations are starting to adopt), including small areas with lots of great schools, plus those schools helping to connect founders with capital, plus gobs of money running around looking for high risk opportunities, plus…

It’s not just the ability to fire someone, and it’s not just the dollar.
