America's peak years of indigenous innovation ran from the 1820s to the 1960s. There were a few financial panics and two depressions, to be sure. But in this period, a frenzy of creative activity, economic competition and rapid growth in national income provided widening economic inclusion, rising wages for all, and engaging careers for most.

~Edmund Phelps

Don't reward bad behavior. It is one of the first rules of parenting. During the financial cataclysm of 2008, we said it differently.
