"The statesmen who inherited the broken postwar world of 1945 built a system that trusted free markets and free trade to create an international economy that would grow. They were chastened by the memory of the 1930s when beggar-thy-neighbor trading policies, protectionism, and conflict over resources led to the Great Depression and World War II. This time, they insisted that the international economy would not be a zero-sum game." - Condoleezza Rice
