S. and Chinese governments, along with other global and regional powers, find a way of controlling the most dangerous aspect of their current relationship—their growing competition in military and naval forces? Could anything faintly resembling the Washington system of the 1920s be re-created? The answer is: almost surely not. Today’s weaponry is totally different.

Neither, of course, happened in actual fact. In the United States if the government had cut its massive fiscal deficit and increased taxes, this would also have rectified the imbalance through the combined effect of reducing private and public consumption. S. military expenditures in Iraq and the recession of 2008, however, the United States further cut interest rates and accentuated its deficit spending.
