过去四年幸好有checks and balances, 美国没有变成像俄罗斯那样的独裁国家。虽然现在美国的疫情还没有得到有效控制，但是我相信美国的未来还是很好的，因为大多数人还是愿意生活在自由民主有法治的国家。 分享一下前几天看到的Goldman Sachs 2021的新年展望： “This is not the first time that declinists have declared the end of US preeminence. Notable prophecies of American decline that we have highlighted in past annual Outlook reports include: • In the 1950s, following Soviet missile launches and the success of Sputnik (the first orbital satellite), declinists warned that the Soviet Union was establishing an unchallengeable lead in missiles and producing superior scientists and engineers. • In the late 1960s, declinists said the bipolar world was coming to an end and that Europe and Japan would emerge as equals of the US and the Soviet Union. • In the 1970s, declinists pointed to the Vietnam War, the Kent State University shootings, the Watergate scandal, the Arab oil embargo, and President Richard Nixon’s ensuing resignation as harbingers of US economic, political, geopolitical and social decline. • In the 1980s, declinists warned that Japan and the Asian Tigers were on the march as the US retreated. Books like Japan as Number One: Lessons for America and The Enigma of Japanese Power epitomized the thinking of the time. • In 2008–09, the declinists touted the rise of China and the fall of the US. Some even went so far as to say that the dominant political and economic force in the 21st century would be China, just as the US was the dominant force in the 20th century. We believe that the declinists will be proven wrong again. ”
