Made in USA

"How can it be, visitors must wonder. How can the richest country in the world look like this?"

The essay Made in USA by Paul Graham asks this very question. It was written for the Japanese edition of Hackers & Painters. It trues to explain why Americans make some things well and other things not so well.

American is all about efficiency. Compared to most of Europe, the United States is somewhat, slightly trashy. According to Graham, it may not be a coincidence. America is impatient. If something has to be done, it will be done. It doesn't matter how it turns out; it only matters whether you get it done or not. Looking at the architecture in Europe compared to ours, it is obvious we don't take the time for beauty. We build for need and not for art.
