Since January 2016 (a completely different world than the one we live in today), The Personal View has consistently forecasted a steady—though turbulent—decline in the United States’ global influence across political, social, economic, and financial spheres. At the time, our analysis predicted a two-decade period of intense, combustive internal upheaval, reshaping the nation in profound ways.
In our January 2016 release, “The USA – Major Themes 2015-2033,” we outlined the key trends expected to drive this transformation. Here’s a summary:
- Disruptive societal and financial transformation – The structural status quo is dismantled, allowing radical change and upheaval.
- Escalating global conflicts & geopolitical tensions – Thucydides Trap points to inevitable power struggles and warfare.
- Immigration-driven social shifts & rising nationalism – fueling deep political and cultural divides.
A new era of technological revolution – AI, space exploration, next-gen transport, and 5G reshape the world. - Economic and financial restructuring – The U.S. grapples with an insatiable appetite for risky investments and unsustainable debt, triggering systemic overhauls that redefine its financial landscape.
- Environmental policy upheaval – Climate strategies undergo seismic shifts.
