In particular, I want to focus on America's role as [the global engine of innovation](. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman summarized it well when he wrote the following: America is the greatest engine of innovation that has ever existed, and it can't be duplicated anytime soon, because it is the product of a multitude of factors: extreme freedom of thought, an emphasis on independent thinking, a steady immigration of new minds, a risk-taking culture with no stigma attached to trying and failing, a noncorrupt bureaucracy, and financial markets and a venture capital system that are unrivaled at taking new ideas and turning them into global products. The results of America's culture speak for themselves: [American companies have an unrivaled impact on the rest of the world](. Billions of people use Google and Facebook every day. (There are more Facebook users on the planet than there are Christians.) Apple is the most valuable company on the planet. Close to 222 million Netflix subscribers stream a bit of America into their lives each night. And it's this "soft power" of innovation - not military might - that is America's greatest weapon. Let's take a closer look at the five factors Friedman says are behind America's success. SPONSORED [Someone's sitting in the shade because someone planted a tree]( Plant Your Own "Money Tree" - Starting With This $2 Stock *Even at $50, It'd Still Be Undervalued ([See How to Get the Ticker Symbol Here!]( Factor No. 1: Extreme Freedom of Thought and Independent Thinking Whether it's colonists defeating the British in the Revolutionary War... pioneers settling the Wild West... or Steve Jobs aspiring to make "a dent in the universe" with the iPhone... [the hero who challenges the system and succeeds by forging their own path]( is an ideology deeply ingrained in American culture. That's in part because the U.S. education system traditionally cultivates independent thinking and allows Americans to explore their strengths in ways no other country does. In contrast, the U.K. education system shoehorns kids into a course of study at a young age. Asian cultures prioritize rote learning above all else. I hear this from the kids I interview each year when they apply to study in the U.S. The world's most talented teenagers want to study in a country that allows them to pursue what they wish, to forge their own paths and to shape their own realities. Factor No. 2: Steady Immigration of New Minds Immigration is a hot-button issue in both the U.S. and Europe. The U.S. attracts millions of undocumented immigrants from "south of the border," along with refugees from the war-torn Middle East and beyond. But what's worse for a country's long-term prospects? No immigration at all. Just consider the cases of America's two greatest rivals of the past generation: Japan and China. In the 1980s, Japan was set to take over the world. Today, China aspires to take on the mantle of global leadership. What do these countries have in common? Neither welcomes immigrants. Japan credits peace and harmony to its homogeneous culture. China has the lowest share of immigrants in the world as a matter of national policy. The U.S. could not be more different. Consider that the current CEOs of Microsoft and Adobe and a recent CEO of Mastercard (now vice chairman at General Atlantic) all went to the same high school - in India. Their openness and creative thought would be unacceptable in Japan or China. World-class talent rarely chooses to emigrate to these Asian giants. Factor No. 3: Risk-Taking Culture British economist John Maynard Keynes once said, "It is better to fail conventionally than succeed unconventionally." This quote epitomizes the difference between the U.S. and the rest of the world. Yes, European tech hubs - like London, Stockholm and Berlin - have produced about 70 tech "unicorns," or private companies worth at least $1 billion. But many of these unicorns are funded by U.S. money. They may start in Europe, but they later migrate to the U.S. Consider Shazam, the music recognition app. Although it launched in London, it opened an office in Silicon Valley once it hit critical mass. Soon after, in 2018, Apple acquired Shazam - which is now located right down the road from Apple's headquarters. Factor No. 4: Noncorrupt Bureaucracy Americans love to rail against unjust elections as well as burdensome government and bureaucracy. And yes, states like New York and California are a miasma of regulation. No wonder the likes of Oracle and Tesla are voting with their feet, abandoning California in favor of Texas. Still, U.S. regulation and corruption pale in comparison to those of the rest of the world. A college classmate of mine once managed 200 programmers in Bangalore, India, for a Silicon Valley-based company. He told me, "Imagine the worst corruption you possibly can. Now multiply it by 100. That's how bad it was." Factor No. 5: Unrivaled Financial Markets The United States boasts the largest and most efficient financial markets in the world. And nothing beats the return potential of cutting-edge American companies. Just consider that of the top 10 best-performing stocks in the last 30 years, all 10 are headquartered in the U.S. Sights Set on Healthcare My colleague Alexander Green recently discovered a company whose new device is set to [revolutionize the world of healthcare](. Not only is this technology set to impact billions of people worldwide, but the company's stock is almost entirely undiscovered and [trading for well under $10](. [This American company is revolutionizing the healthcare landscape as we know it...]( The creator of this award-winning device has an incredible story. He's a brilliant American scientist... In fact, he won the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. (That's the highest honor in his field.) He's known for bringing next-generation DNA sequencing to the world today. And he has founded several successful innovative medical companies in the past. In fact, he's the first person ever to be named The World Economic Forum's "Technology Pioneer" three separate times for the companies he founded. That's important. The man behind this company has [a proven history of building and selling companies from the ground up](... delivering big profits for shareholders. Now his new venture has reinvented the ultrasound from the ground up. [And early investors in his latest company could potentially reap the profits of a lifetime...]( As Warren Buffett observed in 2016, "For 240 years, it's been a terrible mistake to bet against America, and now is no time to start." That's excellent advice.
