Abstract:

Is it just my imagination, or does the United States no longer seem to "work". For my entire lifetime, the US always set the international standard in virtually everything that matters: technology, wealth, health, safety, infrastructure, military power, transparency, governance, freedom, moral high-ground—and on and on and on. But in recent years, we’ve seen example after example which seems to demonstrate that this preeminence—this core competency in the areas that matter most—no longer exists.
