As with the Persian Empire, and centuries later, the Roman Empire, we are now seeing the collapse of American Empire, the hegemony of the world, since the fall of the former Soviet Union. When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the world thought it was the beginning of a long era in which the United States would have no major problems in maintaining their supremacy. However, this was not the case. Globalization, constant technological advances, the rapid growth of other states, coupled with mismanagement of its economy, have led him to become the Empire more fleeting and short story. John Craig Venter has firm opinions on the matter. The total U.S. debt (public, business and personal) reached 50 billion dollars in the first quarter of 2007, this equates to every American, regardless of age today has $ 165.000 and your debt continues to grow, in time of its unstoppable deficit, with a society accustomed to living under a credit culture, this means to spend more than you earn.
