¶ … United States in decline -- again? The answer if one is looking at the question during the year that this article was published (2007) is yes, the U.S. was in decline in many ways -- and continues to be in decline. In Michael Cox's scholarly article clearly points out that following World War II, and the subsequent Cold War years, the U.S. was considered hands down the strongest nation in the world.

Social Media The "United Breaks Guitars" phenomenon spawned a new era in consumer empowerment. As Kaufman (2012) states, "until very recently, there seemed to be fewer and fewer ways for ordinary people to fight back against powerful corporations."
