For nearly nine decades, America has undeniably been the most powerful country in the world. We held hard power — military and economic leverage — with a terrifyingly strong and intact military from the end of the Second World War through the Cold War to today with an insane amount of defense spending.
The college experience will never be as immersive today as it was in our parents’ day — perhaps the millennials were the last to reap the benefits of the university bubble.
