Synthesis notes

See all
Economy & public finances

United States · Synthesis

The world's leading economy, growing markedly faster than other advanced countries, but at the cost of a federal deficit and a debt that reach record levels — the American divergence has a fiscal cost.

Jun 14, 2026
Labour market

United States · Synthesis

A labour market close to full employment, with low unemployment and high participation among the working-age core, but overall participation held back by ageing and durable exits from employment.

Jun 14, 2026
Defense

United States · Synthesis

The world's foremost military power, and by a wide margin: a budget larger than that of the next dozens of countries combined, a global presence, but a technological competition with China that is reshuffling the deck.

Jun 14, 2026
Environment, energy & climate

United States · Synthesis

The world's second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases and among the highest per capita, but with emissions on a downward trend, driven by the replacement of coal with gas and renewables.

Jun 14, 2026
Purchasing power & prices

United States · Synthesis

After an inflation peak of 8% in 2022, the highest in forty years, prices have returned close to the Fed's target — but the accumulated price level remains a major political issue.

Jun 14, 2026
Immigration & integration

United States · Synthesis

A “nation of immigrants” whose foreign-born share of population is approaching its historical record, with massive legal immigration, an undocumented population of about 11 million and a southern border at the heart of the debate.

Jun 14, 2026
Education & training

United States · Synthesis

A world-class higher education system and per-student spending among the highest, but average school results, strong inequalities and student debt of 1,700 billion dollars.

Jun 14, 2026
Health

United States · Synthesis

The highest health spending in the world (nearly 17% of GDP), for a life expectancy lower than that of every other major wealthy country — the central paradox of the American system.

Jun 14, 2026
Security & crime

United States · Synthesis

A homicide rate several times higher than that of the other major wealthy countries, inseparable from a circulation of firearms unique in the world — despite a clear decline in crime since the 2021 peak.

Jun 14, 2026
Justice

United States · Synthesis

The highest incarceration rate in the developed world — roughly two million people detained — with strong racial disparities, despite a decline since the 2000s peak.

Jun 14, 2026
Housing

United States · Synthesis

Real-estate prices at record highs and mortgage rates around 7% that are freezing the market, an affordability crisis and homelessness at its highest measured level.

Jun 14, 2026
Transport & mobility

United States · Synthesis

A mobility dominated by the car, road fatalities two to four times higher than in other rich countries, and an electrification of the fleet slower than in Europe.

Jun 14, 2026
Institutional trust

United States · Synthesis

Trust in the federal government near historic lows and extreme political polarization, but trust that remains high in the military and certain local institutions.

Jun 14, 2026
Social cohesion, poverty & inequality

United States · Synthesis

The most pronounced income and wealth inequalities in the G7, more limited redistribution than in Europe, and child poverty that bounced sharply back after pandemic support ended.
