I was trying to explain the communist economic system in comparison to our own in the U.S. I explain that one reason
we are the greatest inventors of all time is that our economic system provides incentives to invent that other economic systems
in history did not. I gave the example that if someone invented a flying car in the U.S. they might make a lot of money. In
the USSR the government would probably take control of the project and the reward may not be as great. Therefore people in
the U.S. are more likely to invent. I thought I had expained it fairly well. The bell rang and Alex (pictured above) stopped
by my desk and said that he had a question about the lesson.
"Mr. Mendoza" he said, "where was it you said they had the flying cars?"
