December 13 Brettons Wood. The Plank of America Ive always wanted to know why America is what it is. In my analysis of nations, i couldnt quite figure out how it all began. A big piece of land(kind of looks like an island, wonder why people dont call it one). Columbus finds it. Colonization starts. The Britishers arrive. Natives dont feel like natives. George is not from washington, but washington became the name of the place. And then the hub of innovation. The nation embraces capitalism. Open to immigration. Magnet for the best from every part of the world. The chain. Once the hub is set. More and more of the best minds flock. Innovation breeds. Standard of living improves and abracadabra.. The United states of America. with the USP of the American Dream is real. The missing piece of my dilemma is what happened in the three weeks of a June in a place called Bretton Woods. A league of gentlemen changed the way the world would trade money...
