Sometime in the 90s, I saw a bumper sticker I rather liked. It was on a briefcase, not a car, but OK.

Using [] for images:

Evil Empires [hammer&sickle] One down - One to go [stars&stripes]

Questions this image raises: are we actually seeing the death of the American Empire here? Of an economic system? Of some economic theories or policies?

If it is two down, what's next?

If the Cold War with its Communists for World Domination and Useful Idiots versus Imperialist Warmongers and Running Dogs is over, what's the new dialectic?

Certainly there's some stuff going on that transcends the old labour/capital battles. Unions and companies working together on issues like trade protectionism or gov't bailouts of various industries.
