Why America, the Superpower, Will Last

Red Rock, Sedona, AZ. Feb 2023.

The question of how the United States, which will celebrate its 250th anniversary of its founding on July 4th, 2026, became the most powerful superpower the world has ever known has been asked and answered by many. The answers vary. Economists stress some aspects; geologists, historians and sociologists other aspects. In the end, we have to integrate their multiple views. We have to continue to walk around that elephant to get a sense of what that beast is.

Geography has to have been a major factor. I recommend this video. The title “America Will Be the Last Superpower” is somewhat wrong. I believe that it should have been why America will last (at least for the foreseeable future) as a superpower. But here goes.

Be well, do good work and keep in touch.
