Korea, Japan, Vietnam, etc. all export their good to the large market in the U.S. In the Roman times, yes nations like China and Egypt relied on the romans to buy some of their good but mostly each country was self sustaining. Today you just have entire economies based on export. If the U.S. falls, the world falls. Forget the U.S., other countries are screwed too.. |
I don't believe the fall of former big nations was one single event. Yes, in the case of losing a war. But not economically. It was a slow decline. Other countries are replacing the US in the moment as customers - first of all a developing chinese middle-class. But also other countries like more east-asian countries, south american countries and good old europe can take the place as customers, that the US has at the moment mostly.
