Re: REALLY!
partly true AC. You did not mention the long term bureaucracies. As the Poms had it a century or so ago, Sea Lords come, Sea Lords go, the Civil Service goes on forever. Huge amount of inertia there. I suspect very little will change in long term, simply because in the absence of real ideas, the ancient statement that "without vision, the people perish" seems to be true. The USA will merely join its twin, the USSR in list of failed empires eventually.
