A shattering moment in America’s fall from power
The global financial crisis will see the US falter in the same way the Soviet Union did when the Berlin Wall came down. The era of American dominance is over
John Gray Guardian

Remember, we’ve been talking about the Post-American era that is coming soon, where there is not 1 superpower (Aug 19: Coming Soon: A Post American World), but due to its self inflicted wounds and gluttony, the “Rise of the Rest” (Fareed Zakaria) will occur (if you are new to the blog I’d highly recommend reading this post from May) Remember, we are shouted at daily (“We’re #1”) that the US led the world into this mess, and we’ll lead them out.

So of course WE will lead the rest of the world out of this mess… no one else is strong enough. This is a global world, with competitors running at us hard and fast – the quicker we get out of our inward gaze and realize this – the better. Perhaps being taken down a few rungs will help us on that path… I hope so. But we’ll see. We have very short memories. Read the rest of this entry »
