Trade in the Vedic Age led to the rise of kingdoms because of the importance of controlling land and long-distance travel routes
the building of an extensive system of roads because of the difficult terrain
the creation of a large banking class because of the need to exchange different currencies
the development of a centralized government that controlled the economic decisions of its people

In my honest opinion , i’d say franklin d roosevelt was a president that impacted our nation , i say this because fdr is voted among top three best us presidents and he was the longest serving president by 3 terms , usually presidents only supposed to have two terms increments of 4 years , equivalent to 8 years total before election time. and he established the fdic , through the 1933 banking act and he established the us , social security system , during his presidency, and established a national minimum wage , through the fair labor standards act , fdr led the allied coalition to victory in wwii and he played a major role in the creation of the united nations.
