If the U.S. becomes irrelevant in the future, which seems increasingly likely, it will be due to the gross incompetence of American leadership and their ignorance of international markets and business. It's astonishing that a nation that built the modern world and dominated global markets is now retreating from that legacy, led by someone who appears to misunderstand it entirely and instead pines for the failed policies of the 19th century. This is a recipe for disaster and long-term irrelevance. Importantly, China's rise is not a result of its command economy, and America's decline is not because it embraces open markets. The issue lies in leadership, vision, and the ability to adapt, not in the fundamental structure of a free-market system.
