It's no coincidence all your examples are over 100 years old lol. The rise of the individual automobile (a very lucrative business proposition in many aspects) was done alongside massive sabotage of competing alternatives, with the disastrous consequences that are today plain.
It's also no coincidence America has built no rail in many decades while centrally planned China built a massive HSR network in the past 15 years.

- ch4s3 1y agoSurely you don’t think economics is the only difference here. You could even more easily explain it with a lack of property protection in China or the population density along the east coast.
