Real economic growth, production of wealth is the the production of goods and services people actually want. Not of what a small group of people pretend to know is good for the rest.
What interstate system, rail system, etc would they have used, how would they have safely and quickly moved these products people want but couldn't get? How would everyone be able to focus on producing products/services, without easy access to running water or electricity or education or food?

How does clean running water benefit a small group of people and not everyone?
