Understanding the Global Economic Order
Explaining the formation of the global economic order post-1945 and its subsequent evolution.
After the end of World War II, the United States emerged as the dominant power creating an American World Order. This order was established based on factors such as military strength, control over world gold reserves, and possession of nuclear weapons. The U.S. carved up the world and set the rules for international relations at that time.
Over time, this initial peace and prosperity gave rise to increasing wealth gaps, as some nations like Germany and Japan rose to become economic competitors. The unique power the U.S. held after winning the war diminished as other countries entered the global stage.
