Summary

Undeniably, the United States is a very complex country. Dependent on the observer’s viewpoint it is loved, hated, admired, criticized, envied, pitied, etc. The country can be “awesome” and “insane” at the same time, and its “willful ignorance” is often difficult to understand, especially for Europeans.

The 20th century brought the U.S. to the top in almost everything: Booming economy, strong military, leading in science, capitalism as the winning system, etc. At the end of the Clinton presidency in 2000 it was clear that there was only one leader of the world: The USA.

A lot of things have happened in the last 20 years, and the U.S. leadership has been questioned in many ways. What will the future bring? Where will the country go? Are the stairways leading to heaven or hell? What are the risks? And what does it mean for the world, for us? Alfred Mettler will share his insights, experiences and opinion about a country at crossroads.
