In the early 1970s, there were about 200,000 new US businesses created each year (net of closures). Now, the number is negative. Why are Americans getting poorer? Look no further. No new businesses (net). No new jobs (again net). No new wealth. Under Obama and Draghi, crony capitalism flourishes. Real capitalism dies.

“How the Zombies Ate America’s Entrepreneurs.”


Dependence on government – the one true growth industry left

As the number of zombies increases, it leaves fewer people creating real jobs, building real businesses and paying real taxes.

In short, the people who create wealth are vanishing.
