Yes.
Britain became a world empire on the back of English Liberalism, which is to say organizational superiority. The consequence was generally beneficial for the places it "conquered".
USA became a world empire shortly after it abandoned English Liberalism. Instead, USA was powered by the industrial and especially technical superiority it had developed in its liberal period. I believe this has had much worse results than British conquest. USA's "success stories" were the most advanced technical civilizations in the world, Germany and Japan. Everywhere else USA has conquered has been a pathetic failure, such as Afghanistan, the Philippines, Iraq, Vietnam, etc. And even modern Germany and Japan are not looking great.
But, the world has not sat idle for the past 50 years of US decline, driven by bureaucratization and fiat currency. The technical lead has largely disappeared and the industrial capacity does not seem to exceed other large nations.
So I am hopeful that soon the US empire will fragment and the States will return to something like English Liberalism, specifically common law and precious metal coinage.
