Is America's Influence Declining?

Trading Perspectives: An Economic Podcast

Depending on to whom you are talking, America’s global influence is either plummeting or slowly decreasing. Regardless, it seems no one feels the US is in ascendency. How did this come about and what are the reasons? Further, what does it mean for the US economy, if anything at all? Does it matter if the US is no longer the world’s policeman, but is still a major economic force? Are there any generational differences of opinion?

In this week’s Trading Perspectives, Sam and John welcome Sidney Fry to the podcast to discuss the changing face of America’s global power, and if there is anything to be done about it?
