Warren Hammond’s Personal View: The USA – Major Themes 2015-2033
The decline in the USA’s global influence across political, social, economic and financial spheres.

Since January 2016 (a completely different world than the one we live in today), The Personal View has consistently forecasted a steady—though turbulent—decline in the United States’ global influence across political, social, economic, and financial spheres. At the time, our analysis predicted a two-decade period of intense, combustive internal upheaval, reshaping the nation in profound ways.
In our January 2016 release, “The USA – Major Themes 2015-2033,” we outlined the key trends expected to drive this transformation. Here’s a summary:
- Disruptive societal and financial transformation – The structural status quo is dismantled, allowing radical change and upheaval.
- Escalating global conflicts & geopolitical tensions – Thucydides Trap points to inevitable power struggles and warfare.
- Immigration-driven social shifts & rising nationalism – fueling deep political and cultural divides.
A new era of technological revolution – AI, space exploration, next-gen transport, and 5G reshape the world. - Economic and financial restructuring – The U.S. grapples with an insatiable appetite for risky investments and unsustainable debt, triggering systemic overhauls that redefine its financial landscape.
- Environmental policy upheaval – Climate strategies undergo seismic shifts.
