“It’s become a common refrain in US foreign policy circles that the rest of the world is free riding on American power. The accusation sounds familiar — other countries enjoy the security provided by US military spending, benefit from American technological innovation, and sell goods into the vast US consumer market, all while contributing little in return. But the story is more layered; for all its complaints, the United States is also free riding on the rest of the world. Let’s start with the classic grievances.” (04/10/25)
