Reflections on the rise of American great powers

There are two key points in the rise of great powers in the United States: one is the war of independence and the civil war. Second, the new crisis policy. Have you read the chapter about the rise of great powers in America? The following is my review of the rise of American powers, hoping to help you!

The reflection of the rise of great powers in the United States 1 Market economy and planned economy are like two people with different personalities. One is extroverted, adventurous and even reckless. An introverted, taciturn and honest person. A young man works hard with abundant physical strength and creativity to make his life rich, but a reckless investment failure in his youth led to his ruin and penniless. After hard searching and detailed analysis of his own shortcomings, he finally found a way to get rich and keep his property. Since then, he has entered a rich and comfortable middle age. Another found a job when he was young. He just got rid of boring study, changed to a new environment and worked hard for several years, and life was not as embarrassing as when he was at school. Gradually, he was satisfied, stopped making progress, and began to muddle along, thus consuming his youth. Moreover, he has a very pleasant reason. For the stability of his economic life, he dare not rashly go to the sea to make a lot of money, because it witnessed the time when the young man above was down and out. But in fact, he has not lived a stable life. Age is growing and knowledge is growing. When he saw the young man stand up again and re-examine his lifestyle, he decided not to go on like this, but also to enjoy the beautiful life brought by material things, so he tried to change himself and pursue profits in the market ... The story is not over yet.

The course of the first young man is like the course of the development of the market economy. At first, the crazy pursuit of profit led to the rapid development of free market economy, and wealth accumulated at an alarming rate. This is when he was young. Then, various contradictions appeared, leading to the economic crisis and the Great Depression, which dealt a great blow to him in his prime. Then, the state participated in the control of the market economy, and the market economy appeared with a new look and began to flourish again. The course of the second young man is like the development of planned economy. At first, people can work enthusiastically for several years and create some miracles of economic development. This is his youth. However, due to the congenital defects of the system, everyone began to be lazy, leading to economic stagnation or even retrogression, which eventually caused chaos, which was a major blow to his prime. Then, the country implemented reform and opening up, and he came back to life and prospered.

I think the so-called market economy and planned economy are probably the process from two extremes to the middle point, which will eventually achieve harmony and unity. The market economy in the United States was laissez-faire at first, and after the economic crisis, the state intervened in the economy and became more and more in charge; China is just the opposite. At first, the state controlled the economy. After the Great Depression in China, it is now more and more open and less managed. Maybe this is the same goal. Even so, I am willing to live the life of the first person, which is in line with my personality. Now, I think China is at a crossroads, and the country has gradually slowed down its deregulation of the economy, or even stagnated. I read a news today: the country has liberalized the right to operate refined oil products, but the entry threshold is very high, which is an effect. I think this will be dangerous.

This is my humble opinion on The Rise of Great Powers.

Reflections on the rise of American great powers 2 The strength of the United States is obvious to all, and its short-term rise has also surprised the world.

America is a very young country. The barren American continent was discovered in Columbus, Spain on 1492. More than two hundred years later, more than three million Europeans immigrated here. 1776, the United States declared its independence after the war. Since then, the United States of America has appeared in the world. At this time, China was already in the middle of Qing Dynasty.

After reading The Rise of Great Powers, I think the main reasons for the rapid rise of the United States after independence are:

First, when the United States became independent, it gathered a large number of outstanding European talents.

When Columbus discovered America, there were only a few Indians there. More than 200 years later, the United States became independent. At this time, more than 3 million Europeans gathered here. After 60 years of American independence, the population here has soared to more than 30 million. By the end of 19, the population here has increased to more than 70 million. Before and after the independence of the United States, a large number of Europeans flooded into the United States, bringing vitality to the United States. At that time, all the people who came to America across the ocean were high-quality people. From the moment the United States was born, the quality of Americans was far higher than that of other countries.

Second, formulate reasonable policies to guide the healthy development of the country.

In my impression, the development of the United States has always been smooth sailing, but it is not. After independence, the United States still encounters many difficulties, but American leaders always formulate reasonable policies in the face of difficulties and guide the United States through one difficulty after another, which reflects the extraordinary wisdom and super ability of American leaders. Perhaps this is also because the United States has chosen a presidential government, which often elects smart and capable national leaders.

Third, implement the "New Deal" after the economic crisis and restore the American economy.

From 65438 to 0929, the capitalist economic crisis broke out and the Great Depression occurred in the United States. The stock market crashed, 800 banks went bankrupt and 9 million deposit accounts disappeared. A person's life savings vanish in an instant. In just over two years, the American economic crisis caused 6.5438+0.4 million enterprises to close down, and a quarter of the people in the country were unemployed. In large and small cities, hungry people line up just to wait for free bread and a little soup.

1933 On March 9th, five days after franklin roosevelt was sworn in as president, the largest government intervention in American history began, which franklin roosevelt called the "New Deal".

He quickly formulated a series of effective laws and policies. For example, through the emergency banking law to rectify the banking order; Sign the emergency relief law, set up emergency relief agencies, and pay attention to people struggling in poverty; Sign the agricultural adjustment law to help restore the prices of agricultural products; Inject funds into economic recovery through the national industrial recovery law.

1933, Tennessee Valley Authority was established. With the investment of the state organization and the government, 20 new dams have been built and 5 dams have been rebuilt in this basin. Since then, there have been no floods in the seven States where the Tennessee River flows, and shipping, electricity, forestry planting and agricultural production have all been greatly improved. More importantly, a large number of public projects have created millions of employment opportunities for people, and the social pressure brought about by the economic crisis has been alleviated.

During the New Deal, the United States also established a social security system for the elderly and the unemployed, and the whole United States seemed to have experienced a social revolution promoted by the president. In the memory of Americans, this is the first time that the government has influenced their lives so widely and profoundly.

Franklin roosevelt's "New Deal" initiated a new model of market economy. In this model, the combination of the "invisible hand" of market law and the "visible hand" of government intervention can play the role of market and government at the same time.

Fourth, the "outbreak households" of the war.

For the United States, every war will grow. The war between countries has never happened on American soil, and the war has never caused trauma to the United States. In world wars, the United States always stays neutral first, observes the war situation, and then participates in wars in superior countries. Therefore, as a victorious country, it always gets huge war compensation and benefits. In addition, war always brings business opportunities to the United States. During the two world wars, the orders for arms and steel from all countries in the world kept flowing, which made American industrial production unprecedentedly active and accelerated the speed of the United States becoming a world superpower.

Among the countries in the world, the two world wars not only hit Germany and Japan hard, but also made Britain and France, two traditional powers, lose their dominant position in the world pattern. At that time, the world was no longer beautiful in other industrialized countries except the United States and the Soviet Union. The post-war industrial output value of the United States accounts for more than half of the world, and an international financial system centered on the US dollar has been established around the world. At the same time, it also sent troops to 50 countries and regions around the world.

World War II became a new turning point in American history. With its unique comprehensive strength, the United States got rid of the embarrassment of trying to arrange the world order after World War I, began to dominate the international order in its own way, and eventually became a superpower in the late 20th century.
