| HappySqurriel said: I don't think you understand what you're saying ... The cultural dominance of the United States has been driven primarily by their economic dominance. If you had another country with a significantly larger economy than the United States, over time their greater investment in entertainment products would result in products that have far higher production values; and those production values would create a competitive advantage for those goods, and they would eventually surpass the United States in cultural dominance. |
The cultural dominance of the US was driven by the fact that while the world was torn by war, Americans could sit comfortably and make entertainment products. This gave them a huge advantage, especially in the movie industry. Obviously the economy helped, but if the US had been a warzone (like Europe), the movie industry would have never developed like it did.
