Superbroke, superfrugal, superpower ?

1 / Why will the role of the US as the world's superpower be reduced in the coming decade ?

The U.S. role has increased significantly since the end of the Second World War. The success of the Cold War and the emergence of a unipolar world around this country has strengthened the power of the U.S on the planet. But today, things have changed and the U.S. role is decreasing. The U.S. are becoming a country less and less powerful and there are several reasons to explain this fact.

Moreover, the U.S have to improve their taxation policy to promote the establishment of a more social economy and a new medical system. It will transform the public life and the watchword will be “less” instead of “more”. In a same time, the U.S role in the international defense will decrease to save money and because the means are not abundant. It's an important fact for the American economy, because it was a way to promote the American public goods.

To conclude, the role of the U.S will reduce in the next decade for several reasons such as the end of an unipolar world, the fail of the U.S army and the U.S reputation and the desire to change the way of lead the country. But it's a good thing to develop a social policy more useful inside the country.
