Americans—including this author—believe that the international security order the United States constructed in the aftermath of World War II and has been the guardian of in the decades since then has been a remarkable era in human history. This unprecedented “long peace” has provided stability that has enabled not only Americans but most of the other eight billion souls with whom we share this small planet to enjoy greater increases in income, health, and well-being than in any other era of recorded history.

Only a self-deluded parasitic culture could produce such a failure of a human being.

This so called “Pax Americana” we occasionally hear about, only applies to Western countries, but the author is trying to expand it to entire world, which is obviously ridiculous, given, you know…the reality.

They just happen to publish a new System of National Accounts (SNA) every time this happens. Last time it was to put more emphasis on R&D.

Turns out the only valid™ measure of the economy, is the total citizens medical debt.

I concur. I liked how creative it was, still.

Good for them. They have the largest population. They should have the biggest economy. India is starting to catch up too. I don't understand the handwringing.
