Every time there’s a World War, a bunch of industries are put under the control of the government in a process called Nationalization, or a “War Economy”…
…this is because it’s highly efficient. This is an excellent argument against free market libertarian types. They don’t put business in charge of government (like is being done now, eg. Privatization) they put the government in charge of business/industry.
Democratic = chosen by the people
Republic = Representative
“America is a Democratic Republic!” just means you have democratically elected representatives acting for the people… To represent the people’s will, democratically.
