America at a Crossroads: Empire's Decline or Rebirth?
2025-03-05
This article analyzes the current state of the American economy, highlighting its long-term reliance on dollar hegemony and financial speculation, leading to a hollowed-out real economy. The author argues that America faces two paths: one is to shift towards protectionism, becoming a regional power but facing stagnation; the other is to strive to maintain its imperial status, enhancing competitiveness by attracting global talent and backing the dollar with gold reserves. The author believes that the latter, while challenging, is the only hope for America's resurgence.
