How did capitalistic hubris work out for the UK? After all in 1900, it was the financial, manufacturing, military and political leader of the world. Whatever got them there certainly didn't keep them in that position. Looking backward certainly won't keep us at the top of the heap either.Did socialism built America into the only super power? How did socialism work out for the Soviet Union?
Thanks for addressing that for me. Furthermore, The USSR wasn't socialist, it was communist. There's quite a difference between the two, such as the former being democratic.
