Victories in World War I and World War II made the United States of America the world's strongest economy and chief military power. Today, America's GDP represents approximately 25% of global GDP, with a military budget that adds up to the combined military spending of every other country on Earth.

Famous for its automobiles, clothing, films, food, franchises, music and technology, American products can be found in every country and territory, from Apple to Coke to Ford. Key American exports include agricultural products (corn, fruit, soybeans), capital goods (aircraft, computers, motor vehicle parts, telecommunications equipment, transistors), consumer goods (automobiles, medicines) and industrial supplies.

The USA boasts the largest and most technologically advanced economy in the world, with per capita GDP of $47,400, and America's 318 million people enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world. A true market economy, private businesses and individuals drive the US economy. USA companies enjoy far greater flexibility than their Japanese and Western European counterparts, particularly with regard to capital expansion and employment practices.
