What will be the common value system as African and Asian economies grow?
Just as I have chafed under the glorification of "American" mores, apparently Americans has gotten tired of being the (flawed) adult in the room when it comes to the world stage. It is interesting the see neither US or English citizens recognized the influence their governments wielded; the UN was heavily shaped by US policy and the EU by Britain. Rather than recognize thloss of personal wealth and public service is due to austerity programs put in place after regulation failure that amplified economic inequality, the focus turned to 'ousiders' in their midst. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the US where domestic terrorism has been removed from governmental concerns.
Is the American Empire done? There are certainly challenges ahead. It looks likely there will be decreased fertility as environmental protectionism are gutted (see Flint). Recovery from 2 hurricanes in urban areas will be long and costly. The fires will contribute to health and economic issues. This article looks at two arguments for diminishing of US influence.
