I would argue the perceived haphazardness is an advantage. The more centrally planned the economy, the more likely an incompetent government takes power and mucks it up. Part of America’s genius is the (fairly) restricted powers and decentralized nature of responsibility.
That may be. But whatever those blowups are they tend to be a lot less damaging than at other places.
I lived through two growing up, and both times almost everyone lost almost all money. I will take the risk on my US bank account over those any time. My 2c.
