In his book Free to Choose, Milton Friedman asserts that the story of the United States is a story of two interdependent miracles: an economic miracle and a political miracle. Each miracle resulted from a separate set of revolutionary ideas—both sets of ideas, by a curious coincidence, were formulated in the same year, 1776.

One set of ideas was embodied in Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations; the second set of ideas, drafted by Thomas Jefferson, was embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.

During the two centuries following their introduction, when these two ideals were applied to a people with an immigrant ancestry, of a multi-cultural heritage, and a multi-racial composition, they produced an unimaginable result. They became a lightning rod for ideas. They created a crucible for innovation. They combined to become the decisive driver of progress in science, technology, and economic development.
