HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The United States is the largest and most powerful economy in the world. Its nominal GDP wasestimated at $14.2 trillion in 2009, which is about three times that of the world's second largest national economy, Japan.
The United States is ranked second, down from first in 2008-2009 due to the economic crisis, in the Global Competitiveness Report. The country is one of the world's largest and most influential financial markets, home to major stock and commodities exchanges like NASDAQ, NYSE,AMEX and CME.
They built their economy based on internal consumption for a long time; the American administration has recently indicated they may change to a model where growth would be coming from exports.
United States has passed through a lot of financial crisis; like the last one which affected many countries around the world; the GDP growth was 1.1% in 2008, the lowest rate sinceSeptember 11 attacks, and the country went into recession in 2009. The unemployment rate increased till 9% at the beginning of 2010, reaching the highest figures in 25 years.
However, during this year the United States economy has started to recover, with a growth rate of GDP of 0.7%. This had happen thanks to an increase in private consumption of 3.6%, the largest increase since 2007.
 In thismarket-oriented economy, the ones that make decisions are private individuals, business firms, federal and state governments. Businesses have a bigger flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers and in developing new products.
United States business faces more competition to enter to their home markets, instead offoreign markets entering the United States market. They have advantage in medical, aerospace, and military equipment; also much more experience in a developing economy.
Since the end of World War II, onrush of technology explains the development of a "two-tier labor market" in which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional or technical skills of those at the top and, more andmore, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits.
• Historical Bakground
*1900-1994: the national debt increased by 75%, GDP rose by 69%, and the stock market as measured by the S&P 500 grew more than three-fold.
*1994-1999: real output increased, inflation was manageable and unemployment dropped to below 5%, resulting in a soaring stock market known asthe Dot-com boom.
*2000-2001: the market gave back 50% to 75% of the growth of the 1990s. The economy worsened in 2001 with output increasing only 0.3% and unemployment and business failures rising substantially, and triggering a recession that is often blamed on the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks.
*2002-2007, the red-hot housing market across the United States fueled a false sense ofsecurity regarding the strength of the U.S. economy.
*2008: economic disasters hit the country and the entire world. Millions of mortgages (averaging about $200,000 each) had been bundled into securities called collateralized debt obligations that were resold worldwide. Many banks and hedge funds had borrowed hundreds of billions of dollars to buy these securities, which their value was unknown andno one wanted to buy them later.
*2009: A series of the largest banks in the U.S. and Europe collapsed; some went bankrupt, such as Lehman Brothers and AIG. Congress voted $700 billion in bailout money and an activist Treasury and Federal Reserve, committed trillions of dollars to shoring up the financial system, but the measures did not reverse the declines.
