The US may have backslid a bit, but it still leads the world in property ownership rights and fairness of the legal system. When a foreign corporation takes a domestic corporation to court, which jurisdiction will they get the fairest shake? What happens to billionaires when they speak critically of the Chinese government? Despite claims to the contrary, freedom of speech and rights of the property ownership are still vigilantly protected in the US.

But even then, don't image a static world, imagine the difference (on the world stage, not in absolute terms) between the UK in 1922 and 1950, and assume the USA might fall proportionally as far by 2050. Or the growth of the Soviet Union in the same period, and apply that to China by 2050.
