The Decline of Empire


The times, as the poet and laureate had it, are a-changing, and nobody - least of all those most fervently declining the proposition - seem to hold against the fact that as a relative, the United States seems less and less the predominant power, and as an absolut, its might may wane as well. 

But consider then two facts, which should be held against such a development. First, the (again, take naught for granted) inevitable decline of the Chinese empire, or the last in a series of installments inevitably, perhaps unenviably, followed by another. At any rate, the debate and scepticism on the long-term durability of Chinese growth under the red yoke (or while tethered behind it) and the . Second, as a sub-point to this, the opposite growth of the American population, both "natively", and through its continued consumption (some would say naively) of labour forces skilled and merely eager, in spite of existing immigration frameworks.
