Question

How does US dominated the economy of the world?

Answer 1

By financial tricks. The US basically imports everything from places where actual stuff is produced and pays with paper money. But the world is waking up to this trick and very soon the US will be on its own.

Answer 2

us dominated the world because it traded oil.

Answer 3

we don't anymore...Iraq does.

(have you seen gas prices lately?)

Answer 4

The US hasnt done anything very bad so i dont think people should be rude.

Answer 5

By being bullies.

Answer 6

Currently the US economy is about 20-25% of the world economy but this share will most likely be lowering in the future as globalization increases and we face more competition, provided no major negative events happen (such as environmental catastrophes, war, etc). While our share of the world economy will be lower America will still have large cultural influence for all people.

Answer 7

So far lately by the force of our military .

Answer 8

USA consumes 25% of the world's oil despite the fact that only 4% of the world's population lives in USA.

If anybody needs to cut back on oil consumption to bring down the price of oil.  Then US citizens are the ones who should reduce their oil consumption the most.

Answer 9

Not sure I would put it in those words, but the US is the top consumer nation in the world.  That's not exactly a good thing if it is not complemented by being the top producer.

*** After looking at some of these answers, I would suggest to you that you ignore all the opinionated B.S. that isn´t backed up by real information.  The U.S. gets a bad rap quite frequently now just because it is so popular to pick on the winner.  Just about every country in the world wishes it had the power that the US has.  China is trying to gain the economic power that the U.S. has had.  Actually, nearly everyone is trying to improve their economies, but China is really doing it.  France is extremely jealous of the cultural influence of the USA and quite bitter about it.

Most of the negative B.S. about the US is just jealous talk once you get past whatever superficial arguments the people are making.

Is the US evil?  Of course not.  (At least no more than any other country in the world.)  Is George Bush the same as Hitler? Of course not, though you will hear a lot of ignorant fools actually say that.  

Actually, I shudder to think what it would be like for all of us (the whole world) if certain other countries did in fact have the economic and military power of the United States.  For having so much power, the US has done a lot better with it than just about anyone else would have done.
