A central feature of the US economy is a reliance on private decision-making
("economic freedom") in economic decision-making. This is enhanced by relatively low levels of
regulation, taxation, and government involvement, as well as a court system that generally protects
property rights and enforces contracts.
The US is rich in mineral resources and fertile farm soil. It also has extensive coastlines on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as on the Gulf of Mexico. Rivers flow from far within the continent, and the Great Lakes along the US border with Canada - provide shipping access. These waterways have helped shape the country's economic growth over the years and helped bind America's 50 individual states together in a single economic unit. |
