Isn't it fairly well-established that the US has maintained its economic superiority for so long by NOT being bombed to hell like Europe after WWII and afterwards using military force to destabilize developing economies in south america, the middle east, etc etc.?
- im3w1l 7y agoYou're subtly changing the topic by saying economic superiority. If we go back to prosperity, there are many other prosperous countries than the US.
- da39a3ee 7y agoI'm no historian/economist/geographer, but isn't it sufficient to invoke having a huge empty continent with vegetation, climate and soil suitable for agriculture and human life activities in general, that only needed a bit of genocide to get rid of the low density previous occupants? N. hemisphere East-West wide continent and all that.
