Westward expansion Quote by Thomas Piketty
““When a country goes from a population of 3 million to a population of 300 million (to say nothing of the radical increase in territory owing to westward expansion in the nineteenth century), it is clearly no longer the same country.””
![“Probably no country has ever had as large a shift in the distribution of wealth [as what we've seen in the U.S. in the last 30 years] without having gone through a revolution or losing a major war.” quote by Lester Thurow](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/590/lester-thurow-32621_war_probably-no-country-has-ever-had-as-larg_321027.jpg)
