Summary

Economic Supremacy, as a topic, is primarily defined by Brooks Adams' 1900 essay collection, "America's Economic Supremacy," which posited the United States' imminent global dominance after the Spanish-American War and the British Empire's decline. Adams argued that the global power center would shift to the U.S., advocating for nationalization and consolidation policies to ensure competitive efficiency and global influence to prevent Western civilization's decline. He also foresaw an inevitable maritime alliance between Great Britain and the U.S., contrasting it with the land powers of Germany and Russia. In a contemporary context, the All-In podcast, featuring Tucker Carlson, discussed the U.S. economy's current strength, citing robust GDP growth and increased tariff revenue, while acknowledging the significant challenge posed by the growing U.S. deficit. This discussion also touched upon Federal Reserve policies, the "Big Beautiful Bill," and foreign policy concerns regarding Iran, reflecting ongoing debates about the U.S.'s economic standing and global role.

America's Economic Supremacy

America's Economic Supremacy is a collection of six essays written by Brooks Adams and published in 1900, arguing that the United States would soon attain global hegemony following the Spanish–American War and decline of the British Empire and advocating for policies of nationalization and consolidation to maintain efficient competition with rival nations. Building on the thesis of his 1895 magnum opus, The Law of Civilization and Decay, Adams argues that the seat of power follows the movement of the center of commercial exchanges and would next relocate to the United States, where it would remain until it was overtaken by the industrial development of Asia. To ensure survival and avoid the decline of all Western civilization, Adams argued that the United States must seek to project its influence over Europe, Asia, and the world. He further predicted that an alliance between Great Britain and the United States was "almost inevitable" and that the world would soon be divided between the maritime alliance of these two powers and the land powers of Germany and Russia.

    In the market economy the consumers are supreme. Their buying and their abstention from buying ultimately determines what the entrepreneurs produce and in what quantity and quality.
