Greg Mankiw's Blog: Jefferson had the Louisiana Purchase

Greg Mankiw's Blog: Jefferson had the Louisiana Purchase

"This little event, of France's possessing herself of Louisiana . is the embryo of a tornado which will burst on the countries on both sides of the Atlantic and involve in it's effects their highest destinies."

Jefferson's prediction of a "tornado" that would burst upon the countries on both sides of the Atlantic had been averted, but his belief that the affair of Louisiana would impact upon "their highest destinies" proved prophetic indeed. The Louisiana Purchase


Amazing thing is this only few hundred years ago – not so long ago- I have not thought about it from this way, I wonder how Jefferson see all of this! anyway not bad idea buy a country from a e-bay make it your own home, if Jefferson alive he might do it same thing! life is all about buying and selling!It is good investment all the resources deep Ocean!
