Niall Ferguson on the decline of the American empire

In an interview conducted by Andy Robinson, the British historian Niall Ferguson analyses the economic threats hovering over the United States. "They have become the world's principal debtors and depend on a colossal quantity of foreign capital in order to finance themselves. It suffices to consider how Wall Street banks are looking for injections of capital from Middle Eastern and Asian sovereign funds. This is going to considerably reduce any room for manoeuvre the United States has in these regions. We are going through a subtle transition in financial and geopolitical dependences. Historically, when there have been political conflicts between a debtor and a creditor, it is whoever allocated the credit who got the last word. The United States' main asset has resided in being the best place on the planet for doing business. If they loose that, one can only envisage their long-term decline."
