After 9/11, the U.S. Economic Phoenix Never Rose

Ten years ago exactly, September 2001, I wrote an article, “The Phoenix Will Rise,” which has since been repeatedly reprinted around the anniversary date.

I wrote then that, “Once the United States’ leadership clearly signals to the rest of the world that it seeks victory rather than compromise, and that it understands that democratized capital markets are the key to its riches, prosperity will be swift, and its foundations will be strengthened. This has always been the case.”
