Citizens of other countries are doing themselves in even more frequently. According to the latest available figures, the U.S. rate was surpassed by Hungary (26.8), Austria (21.7), Czechoslovakia (21.3), Finland (19.2), West Germany (18.5), Denmark (19.1), Sweden (18.5), Switzerland (16.8), Japan (16.1) and France (15.5). England's suicide rate is a little above that of the U.S. Far below them both are the rates of Italy (5.3), Ireland (2.5) and Egypt (0.1), although such figures are often misleading...

The crucial thing is to keep alive a sense of freedom, possibility and enterprise-and in that sense the U.S. is the least-wasteful society in history. Essentially, nothing is wasted that helps fulfill a legitimate purpose. With their wild-wheeling economy, a phenomenon so extraordinary that they cannot quite believe it themselves, Americans can do anything they choose. All they have to do is make their choices...
...wages have been rising much faster in other major nations, notably those of Western Europe. Between the 1958 start of the Common Market and 1965, U.S. workers' pretax wages went up 14%. During that seven-year period, pretax wages jumped 25% in Italy, 29% in France, 40% in Denmark, 41% in The Netherlands, and 53% in West Germany...
