U.S. Economic Strength
U.S. economy can be said as one of the influential economic system in the world. United States is a super power in the world. Post-war world II, the United States became the only country in the world that has a great strength in any field. One area of the economy is the world axis.
Yes, the U.S. economy into the economic reference in other countries, both developed and developing countries. This can be seen with the value of the dollar which has always been a benchmark for the value of currencies in other countries.
It could be said that the post-war world II, the United States economic control of the entire economy of the countries in the world. Companies without exception. All countries in the world seemed to obey and comply with regulations of the U.S. economy.
U.S. Economic System deminate World
Economics is the main support for the establishment of a state. With the weak economy will make the situation in the country had become unmanageable. The impact of business and business in a sluggish real sector so that unemployment will increase, crime will go up and social life will be more complicated. For example, when the monetary crisis hit Indonesia today. The economic crisis is making many people feel tremendous economic crush. What is its impact on the country? Yes of course the negative effects received for a failed state in running the economy well.
United States became a superpower to rival the greatness of the Soviet Union due to the strong economic system. In the history of the world we find that the United States does not concentrate on the various foreign occupations before World War I. American political system before World War I is a political force, which meant that the United States does not overly interfere in inter-state relations issues. United States instead concentrate on building the domestic economy by enabling the development sector of the real economy at a time when the major countries when it spends money on war.
Sweet results obtained by the United States, when all the major powers after World War I ran out of money or the economy is weakening the United States it appears as a powerful state in the economy. And the effect is the United States able to subdue the developed countries like UK, France, and Germany under its domination. With emerging as a new force that has a great economic power, the United States further compete with the Soviet Union to win the ideological struggle. United States carries the ideology of democracy as master to influence other states to side. While the Soviet Union tried to spread socialist ideology or what is known as communism.
But in a battle of two superpowers was won by the United States with its allies. The Soviet Union officially dissolved as a state in 1991. With the collapse of the empire of the Soviet Union left the U.S. as the only superpower capable of grasping the world. Countries in the world are forced to be smooth and hard to follow the subject while the U.S. force in regulating domestic governance and foreign relations. Slowly now Indonesia became unwitting imitator United States that carries the capitalist economic system.
Yet when we look at the idea of our founding fathers, Indonesia's economic system is an economic system that promotes democratic mutual aid. But that idea evaporated without a trace at the moment. Mimicking the U.S. economic system means that we have adopted freedom of economy. That person is free to have a business in the public sector and natural resources should belong to the state. Look at how a number of individuals and groups in Indonesia greedily seize natural resources belong to the people. How many oil fields, coal mines, water resources and other natural resources which is now owned by an individual or company. People bite the fingers to withstand hunger without realizing that this country is truly the richest country in the world.
U.S. Economic System Capitalist
initially, there are two systems which control the world economy, the socialist economic system fronted by Russia and the capitalist economic system, initiated by the United States. However, the post-war world II U.S. capitalist economy, the only economy that rules the world.
Capitalist economic system fronted by the United States focusing on capital, that is, in this world modal which has an important role in the economy of a least developed country. Capitalist economic system is also likely to favor the weak.
And consciously or not the United States economic system of capitalist dragged one by one countries in the world to have the same shaft. Yes, we realize it or not.
One of the most striking is the United States that serves as donors of the world economy. Look, any country experiencing financial problems in the country will be "assisted" by the United States, including Indonesia.
The implication, which helped the country, will have a high dependence and a debt of gratitude to the donors. And indirectly, the effect is to make the state assisted with the flow of donor countries which in this case is the United States.
Monetary Crisis in U.S. Economy
clearly we can say, that the United States has a strong economic defense. With the economic system of the United States has now, the United States emerged as "lion" of the world that could never die.
However, what happens?
Like an anomaly, in 2008, the United States was experiencing economic collapse. U.S. superpower he suffered in the economic crisis. It's unbelievable, but that's the reality.
At the start of the policies of President Bush, who was still in power, who mindlessly spending state budget for an all-out blitz Iraq. As a result, the budget ballooned.
In the same time turned out to foreign trade deficit. Both conditions are exacerbated by the devastation in the housing / real estate business, capital markets, and financial institutions.
Like a domino effect that reacts quickly, failures in different fields spread to all areas of life in the United States. In the end the United States a global crisis that crippled all sorts of aspects of life.
Large expenditures to finance the war and the U.S. military were not followed by adequate income countries. Until the U.S. government forced the Bush era to the Obama seek inclusion of non-economic sectors. That foreign debt debenture shall be established in the country or we call the bond. Now the amount of debt the United States is a little more than that amount to about 150 thousand trillion rupiah. A very large number for a country that is experiencing economic downturn.
The biggest mistake of the force of the U.S. economy right now is to start the real sector. Most real sector businesses play in the stock and foreign exchange very draining funds that should have been in the real economy. So that funds for the establishment and development efforts to a standstill. As a result, businesses or enterprises that can absorb a lot of labor are few.
Unemployment rose, crime like endless, abandoned children, and the most miserable of other countries in the world were also affected by the impact. Especially countries that also mimics the U.S. economic system. Just as Indonesia's economic crisis as well. Many small and medium businesses forced to close due to lack of support from the government.
Difficult economic times make people having trouble finding work. The lack of employment opportunities employment a major factor in the increasing number of unemployed in the country. The situation is more difficult when the government has to establish cross-border economic cooperation with the signing of AFTA. Thus causing the condition of small business will run over the entry of the goods or services of foreign products into the domestic market.
When you have this, we still say that the economic system of the United States that the capitalist is able to provide intelligent solutions for the welfare of the American public in particular and the world at large? Especially in the long run? Um ... we'll see.
Hopefully this article about the U.S. economy can open our insights about the economic history of the world.

History of the United States
History can be regarded as the identity of a nation. Not one country on earth that does not have a history. So even with a state of the United States who have a history of revolution, the United States. Why the revolution in the United States did called the revolution the United States? American Revolution is one of the efforts made by the United States to escape the shackles of the invaders.
American Revolution departs from history that happened in ancient times. The American Revolution was a war conducted by the United States to be free from colonial British Empire. United States has a very long under colonial British rule. During the U.S. occupation of many people who cannot live as free people. Then what about the U.S. revolution could this happen?
American Revolution - A Brief History of Revolution in the USA
Unite States Revolution also called the American war occurred between the United Kingdom with 13 British colonies in the territory of the United States, before it became the United States. The colony is an area controlled by another country. Colonies were fighting the United Kingdom, among which are the state of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
Revolutionary war the United States that occurred for about seven years, that is from the year 1775 until 1783, managed to free America from British territory, until the colonies formed a new country called the United States. They had long wanted to escape the influence of British colonial occupation in the colonial countries. Empire State certainly unpleasant, because it cannot determine its own future. Therefore, the United States pursued revolution.
Feeling of wanting to break away from British rule through revolution, the United States is perceived as American citizens their liberty in politics and trade began to restraint. All the political and economic life as if they are near death, as ruled by the British. In addition, the British government also charge very high tax to Americans regardless of whether they are of the feathers are in, or the underprivileged.
As well as countries that experienced colonization, America was also trying to be free from British rule through revolution the United States. They, the members of the British colonial state are also not necessarily the war to the British flag when not supported by the American figures.
These figures seem to have been very fed up with all forms of colonialism received country. In fact, instead of them coming from the UK alone. He was John Locke.
John Locke was a philosopher whose 'indoctrinate' figures originator of American independence to carry out a revolution called a revolution of the United States. Meaning make the mind a lot of these figures began to open, and struggled for liberation themselves.
American Revolution - Struggle USA
Americans struggle to gain freedom, in addition to the U.S. revolution, also done by diplomatic negotiations. The result is some of the congress and the signing by both parties. A person who 'moves' diplomatically to fight for American independence was Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Thomas Paine.
Leaders drive the revolution that once the United States became the first U.S. president was George Washington. He contributed a lot in the fight for the freedom of the peoples of America from British rule. Struggle George Washington was not easy in the United States is moving revolution. Together with the American people and to the limitations on the time, the United States conducted by the revolution struggle.
Revolution is an attempt to change the social and cultural revolution so with the United States. Changes in these revolutions tend to run with a very fast and highly based on matters related to public life in a country revolution. Words synonymous with the movement of knocking down and rebuilding. The spirit of the revolution that brought down that is the foundation of revolutionary struggle in the United States.
The revolution is happening in the U.S. is very different from the revolution in France. American Revolution more 'themed' fights the fight of independence; while the revolution in France only with respect to internal circumstances that occur in their own country. Thus, the United States is a revolution unparalleled struggle in getting independence from the hands of the invaders.
Not only Indonesia is struggling in the fight for independence, the American people were too. When we see the development of the United States now that has turned into a superpower is not inconceivable how it is in the British rule. It turned out great country like the United States had before it turns into a great nation have experienced periods of adversity. In fact, as a native Indian tribe the United States become trapped and eventually reduced community.
American Revolution became the turning point of the struggle of the American people during the colonial era Britain. Independence they desire they can finally feel well with the struggle that is not easy. It has been a lot of bloodshed in order to break away from the shackles of British rule. So, not only are its Dutch colonial powers, Britain also having a colonial history as part of the world.
American Revolution that freed the people of the United States of colonialism is not as easy as it also fills independence. Conditions that have been turned upside down by the British colonial administration, requires a long time to clean themselves. Revolutionary war the United States during the past 7 years, it has certainly drain potential. Especially the economic and political life that has not been stable.
However, the people of the United States slowly but surely able to improve itself, and it can align itself with countries that once colonized them. Even with the passage of time, the United States can be a large and powerful country and influenced the world. From the beginning, did not adaa as colonized, the United States turned into a large and prosperous country. Soon after the revolution, the United States ended, they started and rise from adversity as ruled by the British.
Learning of the American Revolution
the events of the revolution that engulfed the United States the land of Uncle Sam is suddenly stomp the world. The struggle for independence by the people of the United States when it was chosen by the war, called the revolution of the United States. American Revolution was made possible due to a strong desire to be free from the shackles of colonialism. With a strategy and thinking thoughtfully, the leading U.S. thinker’s usurper independence freed the country from invaders.
We should learn from the revolution of the United States. Not seen of war seize their independence, but saw the fighting spirit in the independence. We were also taken to win independence when the war, but not as big as the U.S. revolution. But basically we have the same struggle. The significance lies in the struggle for independence is not independence, but to see how after winning independence.
The United States could immediately improve itself after the outbreak of the revolution the United States, and eventually the United States turned into a great and powerful nation today. Many significant advances have been achieved by the United States. Compare this to our country after independence till now always still clean up. Indeed, in the period between after independence until today the United States has a much longer time, but at least we can learn to build from the United States, especially his fighting spirit.
There are three main pillars of the country and a benchmark of the progress of a country, the economy, education and security or robustness. If these pillars are not solid, prosperity and progress will not be easily achieved. To become a large and prosperous country needed balance between the three pillars. So that all three can run well needs healthy governance and away from the intrigue and corruption, collusion and nepotism.
If we want to learn and keep learning to advance the state as shown by the United States through revolution, the United States, it is not impossible we could also develop into a great and powerful nation, and advanced in technology.

American Inventors
America is a great country, advanced, and well respected in the international politics. In fact, he claims to be "world policeman." Greatness like magnets that suck up people from all over the world with different backgrounds. All merged into one giant container called a "melting pot." Then, if you know who the inventor of America? Who is the character played thousands of years ago discovered America?
Immigrant workers, students, political refugees, mafia, gamblers. They came to change the fate or just traveled up. Who would have thought America would be like this when we look at thousands of years ago. Is there one among them is the real American inventors?
Story about who the most influential American inventor cannot be separated from past story of this superpower. At that time, the USA is a land of vast land inhabited only by indigenous tribes such as the Indians and Eskimos. Experts believe they came from mainland Asia who crossed the Bering Strait (strait separates Asia and North America) more than 20,000 years ago after the same prey.
Natural conditions charming, lush and rich diversity of fauna, making them decide to settle and thrive in this new land. Over time, they have spread into various tribes. They were the first native who attended on American soil. Indeed, they are the people who predicated as the American inventor.
American Inventor - Indian, Native Americans
There are many Indian tribes scattered on the U.S. mainland, including the Sioux, Cherokee, Apache, Cheyenne, Comanche, Navajo, Pueblo, Iroquois, Huron, and Cherokee. They are a tribe who inhabit America for the first time, and can be an American inventor who is not recorded in history.
The presence of Native American tribes is interrupted by the arrival of the Europeans. The arrival of Europeans in the 16th century made the area their urgency to just stay in the west and southwest American. Europe people are certainly not the first American inventor.
Their population had declined drastically due to war, either with the whites and with other Indian tribes. Finally, they are localized by the American government in the reserves-reserves in the various regions.
Currently, approximately one and a half million people living in the U.S. Indian reserves. One is the Navajo reserves. If America was never discovered by the Europeans, maybe not such a fate. They, the American inventor in the early history will surely remain in America until now.

The story is already clearly illustrates that Columbus is an American inventor.
The discovery of the new continent by Columbus proved the underlying reference to Native American tribes. At that time, Columbus had not realized his error. American inventor called native Americans were called "Indians" because they considered were in India.

The evidence that Cheng Ho was prominent American inventor found on ancient map sheet describes his journey around the world. Not surprising because the Chinese are a strong nation in the tradition recorded.
American inventor of Asia is then supposedly charted parts of the world such as Antarctica and northern Canada along the way. Results the mapping that was later used as the basis for the voyages of the West, such as Vasco Da Gama, Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, and James Cook.
The horrendous map discovered in 1763, but the map is a copy of the original map, which was made in 1418. Corresponds to the duration of the voyage Ceng Ho between 1405 to 1432. Means Laksmana Ceng Ho was the American inventor of 70 years before Columbus discovered this continent.

After that, he continued his exploration up to the Labrador. A place woody and flat land. Therefore, he called the area with Markland, the land contains a lot of wood. Leif Ericsson's journey story emphasized and assured that he was the inventor of America.
Taklama layover, American inventor this one with his entourage on his way to find a vast land stretching and abundant salmon along the river. In winter, the place is not too cold, and the weather was still overgrown grass green. Ericsson really liked the place until he decided to make a home and stay there long enough.
Leif call that land the name Vinland. Possible area is the area between Virginia and Newfoundland in North America. So, in fact, historically, the American inventor Leif Ericsson is 4 centuries before Columbus.
Who is the Most Influential American Inventor?
Of the three prominent American inventors, most influential is Columbus. Why is that? In fact, historically, Columbus actually the last person to discover America.
