At the end of World War II, with the world devastated by the war, the United States had 50% of the world’s entire GDP.

 

We may be the highest in per capita GDP, but not in absolute numbers.

 

There are just two that are members of NATO, number 5 Turkey and number 10 Germany, with the two totaling together 16 trillion.

 

The three Asian countries total over 120 trillion

 

We are in a completely new world, and yet our political leaders are acting as if it was 1945.

 

The writer Damon Runyon one wrote, “the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that’s the way to bet.”

 

Japan and Germany are your only two reliable allies on the list at numbers 9 and 10, and Japan is a demographic basket case.

 

There is no way we can dominate the world as we did in 1945, and yet we spend money as if it was 1945.

 

The world is being organized, without us, with organization such as BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the EAEU.

 

Our Leaders are betting against Damon Runyon

  The New Demographic-Technological Model An Introduction A People without History is like the Wind on the Buffalo Grass. --- Lakota Over the course of the last few years, we have presented in discussions in  The Millennial Files  the basic structure of a new demographic-technological model of  United States   history. First of all, the model represents   a combination of Neil Howe and William Strauss's new demographic paradigm, described in their book, Generations: The History of America's Future, with our work on the technological cycles of the 200 years of American industrialization. It is important to note that each of these models was developed independently; we believe, however, they reinforce each other in a manner that enhances both models' credibility and utility. In Generations Strauss and Howe proposed a highly original and universal generational paradigm that they applied to the specific history of the United States. Strauss and Howe's work concentrated on t

 A short time ago I wrote a blog about the factors that will shape the world- it was about the organizational factor that was the key to very thing. Since then nothing has changed. Today it is this factor that is still the  one that is critical. All our problems resolve into organizational problems. To start with go back to 1945 right after World War II, our world organization began there, at Bretton Woods and the Marshall Plan and the creation of NATO. It is now ending and we do not know it. There are three areas that manifest every thing now, one the Ukraine, the international battle over the dollar and trade and three the internal fight for American political control. The media is portraying almost  a settled event in the Ukraine it is not, it will almost certainly take until winter to determine that. The gas situation in Ukraine and Europe is not clear and until it is nothing will be clear. The position of the dollar is not settled and could take some time. And the American politic
