America only become strong after the WWII, it wait till Europe and
Asia are tired, died and running out of funds and steam, then it
come in and play the CAPTAIN AMERICA show. It theory is base
on capitalism, money with no human touch. Of course it become rich,
but then many are still very poor in america, we only see the rich
ones here and there. When i was in LA, old red neck
caucasian american Uncles was beggin money from me along the
streets. I got a shock of my life.
I believe many of the Asian industrialisation and innovation are
base on the Japanese concept of the early 70 n 80s. It was base on
productivity and hard work, we progress very well until our govt
said we must embrace a knowledge economy. So we went into IT and
electronics and all high tech stuff...in the mid 80s what really
shoot the america up was the computer.
they US becoming strong, by selling weapons, those big company
like Boeing, used to macufacture fighter, ford ,used to macufacture
tank.
