Charles Edison

Adam Smith

Over the years, the U.S. economy has shown a remarkable ability to absorb shocks of all kinds, to recover, and to continue to grow. Flexible and efficient markets for labor and capital, an entrepreneurial tradition, and a general willingness to tolerate and even embrace technological and economic change all contribute to this resiliency.

Ben Bernanke

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."

Winston Churchhill
