There was an entirely different form of government then, not even close to what's in play now.

The XIV amendment makes everyone an officer of the government. That would make for a rather large book.

America made it to 1946 without any economic advisors.

And we had a much stronger economy.

In effect, the economy ran itself.

we had a much stronger economy.

The concept of economy is not that old. It was established around 120 years ago that a science was needed to manage shortages. On the surface this is a decent idea but there is now nothing that is the subject of economics that is not also a shortage. This stands to reason because why would you find it necessary to manage a surplus (there are instances that are exceptions .. a flood, a blizzard, a horde of locusts, etc ... these you would also like to manage but you aren't trying to ECONOMIZE them)
