> I never understood the good effects of American hegemony until they started breaking down. This is a one-sentence forward to some future history of the 21st century yet to be written. Can we please get this engraved on the headstone of the millennial generation?

It's not clear whether you mean it this way or not, but the impression I get from your post is that you're implying millenials are to blame for the downfall of America. It's hard not to take offense to that.

  I understood that more as the poster thinking that the millenial generation is the first one fully situated in the post American hegemony world.

  No need to take offense when Millennials control such a small share of wealth and political power, though I can't decide if that makes it better, or worse. I can't figure out how to deep link my Data Cube, but you can see from the Office of Personnel Management that the Federal workforce is old: https://www.fedscope.opm.gov/ https://www.fedscope.opm.gov/ Screenshot for those who don't want to wrangle the Data Cube UI: https://i.imgur.com/0XQ1LEj.png https://i.imgur.com/0XQ1LEj.png

> Can we please get this engraved on the headstone of the millennial generation? The order started breaking down in the 90s when the oldest Millennials were in elementary school, accelerated in the 00s when the youngest Millennials were in preschool, and was formalized in 2016 mostly by older generations. The big problem that I see is that while bits and pieces get taught the artificial trade security brought on by the Bretton Woods order were never taught! I only just started learning about it recently and I'm a bit pissed off that this wasn't in 20th Century History 101.
