In 'Colossus: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire', Niall Ferguson examines whether the United States has become the new world empire. Through a provocative analysis, Ferguson argues that, in many respects, the U.S. is the greatest imperial power of all time, tracing back to its expansion in the 19th century and its rise to global dominance in the 20th century. However, he raises the question of whether the American colossus is truly prepared to bear the weight of the world, given its weakness due to chronic deficits of money, manpower, and political will. Ferguson warns that the fall of this 'New Rome' could come from within.
