Americans, being naturally ingenious, are not content to plod the weary paths of their ancestors. Their faculty of"cutting corners" and finding more modern ways of doing things has brought unquestioned leadership to this country. Because "let well enough alone" is no longer typical of the American's way of thinking, this leadership will forever go unchallenged.

Well, first I tried to cheat on Google, but then it just brought up your site. D'oh!
It seems to be a passage from an economic writing rather than political, so my best guess is:
Alex de Tocqueville?
I want to agree with Spencer, but I don't think we were as economically powerful during that time frame.
Maybe Karl Marx?
okay, how about a century hint?
Twentieth century.
Bill Gates?
