Paul Kennedy, Minding Their Business. Even before the two world wars, the US economy was the largest among major powers. The nation/s refusal to play a commensurate role in international politics baffled Europe. Wall Street Journal, Dec 31, 2022, at page C7/

(book review on Robert Kagan, The Ghost at the Feast; America and the collapse of world order, 1900-1941. Knopf, 2022)

My comment: Maybe at the time, no nation or person know US had the largest economy, which surpassed UK (not the larger British Empire) around 1911. See gross domestic product

("The modern concept of GDP was first developed by [Russian-American] Simon Kuznets for a 1934 US Congress report")
