No I don't think that world economy depends on American economy.
Every country's economy depends on how much currency it is printing and how much gold is it having.
And also that are they able to pay their loans.

[Amph]

some countries depend on real value, that come from their internal production, like olive production(for italy and france), banana production, some arabia countries from their petrol ecc.. or other products that only their country can produce

[HCLivess]

Yes, since it is an open system. 2008.

[randy8777]

from a financial point of view for sure. exchanges around the world look what happens in the usa in order to decide which direction to go. if american exchanges don't move, exchanges elsewhere won't move either.

[zenitzz]

Yes, because they are there. But that does not mean that America is that much indispensable to the rest of the world. America is huge, but the others are growing.

Is the world economy dependent on the American economy?

in most of the case i would say, yes, since there is lot of things that come from americans that europeans adopt, so in some ways yes, but now i have another question:

about what is the american economy dependent?, is the old question and the old conspirancy theories... dont you think?

[Epileptic_Neurosurgeon]

The world economy is intertwined, the US economy is dependent on the world economy and vice versa. Naturally the world economy would suffer greatly if the US economy failed, but it would eventually recover and other economies would fill the vacuum.

[countryfree]

Yes, that's quite true. Many people in China depend on American consumers buying the stuff they're manufacturing in their factories, and the same goes for German luxury car makers. It's not a life and death dependency, but the world would face a strong recession if the US were to be wiped off the map.

You just have to look at the share of a country in global trade.

What to you mean by "the economy failed"?   If a significant fraction of the population is forced to work for fiat currency does that count as a failed economy?

Is the world economy dependent on the American economy?

I do not think the bass entire world economy depends on the US economy but the greater part of which is under the auspices of the Great Powers

[Possum577]

No. If the American economy disappeared there rest of the world's economy would continue on. Do you think business in the UK or Asia would all of a sudden stop? Obviously the markets would go down for a while, but it would all come back...

[Pab]

 No,but USA is recognised like biggest ecnomy in the world,dollar is world reserve currency,That way world is dependent on USA  economy

Yes every country has their own economy, but no doubt other country's economies are influenced by the american economy but it doesn't mean that the growth of all countries is depended on american economy.

only those that are heavily dependent from america will fall, for a bit maybe, nation like japan, for example,  are immune from the failure of other currency, then you have the whole euro, whichwill not be affected much, actually it will beocme stronger for obvious reason

[PenguinFire]

It is pretty heavily dependent on the US economy.  Some major players more than others.  You always want to be in one of the countries in the handful that have to remain profitable for the world banks to continue their growth.

Thanks for repeating my comment, what was the point of that?

[MadAlpha]

The size of the US economy is about 22.5 % of the total world economy. So, of course the world economy is dependent on it. The whole question is silly.

i didn't repeat anything i added on top of what you've said, like the euro that will be stronger and many other top 10 currency, and despite the bubble that crushed cny are among those

Each country in the world has its own economy. But we were all witnesses of what happened in 2008. The economy crisis that happened and struck all the countries in the world begun in America. So you can't say that world economy depends on the American economy but if something happens there we will all fill that
