Doing the math, we find that Chinese GDP looks better and the United States looks worse for last year than has been reported in some quarters. The U.S. is paying a steep price with its bloated money supply. Now it’s facing interest rate hikes to control inflation.

Recently, the IMF downgraded global growth prospects, due to projected slowdowns in the U.S. and China. Negative prospects could be overcome with the right policies, such as trade cooperation. The current ones support stagflation.

Some things were expected; others were not. Smooth and orderly growth next year will depend on the Biden administration’s coordination of fiscal and monetary policies. The administration will have limited room to maneuver next year. The U.S. economy will grow at a modest rate, but volatility will remain.

The U.S. president’s idea for a summit on democracy is ill-conceived, ill-timed and likely to be ill-fated. Such an event can only distract from solving the challenges posed by the pandemic, the disruptions of extremists and a divided society.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a devastating blow to the American economy, ending the country’s historic 10-year economic expansion. The impacts of the pandemic will continue to be felt across the board in Q2 and may potentially transform the country’s economic status quo.
