In the years immediately after the global financial crisis and, before that, the tech bust of the early 2000s, it was China getting the accolades. Double-digit growth there was the norm. Going back to the Reagan superlatives, the U.S. was the key driver of the recovery from the early 1980s global downturn. Big parts of the world didn't even participate in capitalism at that time.

In&nbsp;South Korea, for example,inflation returned to its pre-pandemic levelin March as oil prices remained stronger and consumer demand started to recover after a&nbsp;year-long&nbsp;slump. But that pre-Covid-19&nbsp;level was a meagre 1.5%, compared with a year earlier, well below the Bank of Korea’s target of 2%. In many parts of the world, certainly in Asia, we are&nbsp;quite a ways from the type of ‘bad’ inflation that was the scourge of the world in the 1970s and early 1980s.</p><p>An undue focus on the blemishes of this boom might reflect a deeper paradigm shift, one&nbsp;that people are having trouble processing. As my colleague John Authersnoted, this is potentially a boom unlike any that investors have seen in their professional lives. I’ll go further and say the geographic nature of this boom —&nbsp;the best American performance since victory in the Cold War —&nbsp;is making life uncomfortable. It’s been almost four decades since theU.S. has driven the global economy like this.</p><p>For much of the intervening period, we have been inundated with the message that China’s rise is the biggest thing since sliced cheese.&nbsp; A sibling narrative has been that emerging markets, buoyed by high growth rates, young populations and an ascendant middle class,&nbsp;are the future. The U.S., however, is looking more vigorous than many emerging markets right now.

There has been a drumbeat of prognostications that China willeclipse America as the world’s biggest economyas soon asthis decade. Maybe so. But the Fed’srescue of the global monetary systemand now the turbo-charged U.S. expansion this year tell us that Uncle Sam isn’t quite so down and out.I suspect we may end up needing a new framework for looking at the world.
