They have limits on available resources, including the most basic ones - land, water, and energy. They have a money system headed for a crack-up, and an economic theory that was only effective when it wasn't necessary. Now that it is needed, the Keynesian fix is useless.

In the second place, Americans have run out of money to buy stuff. In the third place, it takes a lot of energy to make and transport so much stuff; the US no longer has access to cheap energy. And finally, the US economic model - in which growth is a result of stimulating consumers to buy more stuff - no longer works.
