America was only exceptional in that we profited heavily off of WW2. We were one of the only countries whose land was basically untouched and after the war we created a bunch of money and gave that to war ravaged Europe to buy shit from us.

It is much more nuanced than that, but we had been riding that high a couple generations and now all that "prosperity" has been squandered.
