In the Great Recession, we were told of companies that were "too big to fail." We had to bail them out because if they went under, the whole shebang would go under. I wonder if America as a nation hasn't become "too big to fail" in current years? We take for granted "American exceptionalism," the broad use of English, and the status of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. Yet - is this guaranteed for all time? NO. Although The Ugly American was published in 1958, its overall message is still relevant.
