Has the US succumbed to Paul Kennedy's hypothesis?

Asked by josie (30934points) August 30th, 2011

In his dull but revealing book, *The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers!” , Kennedy says, in a nutshell, that since 1500, the Great Powers on earth all eventually spend more money than they can afford on military adventures, and experience decline as a result.

Does that sound familiar?
