were lots of proftis because North America didn't have to compete with Europe (who were recovering from or building up to or fight war). North America didn't have to compete with the Soviet block (1/3 of the world). They didn't have to compete with less developed nations (they just bulldosed in when they could, or dealt through rulers). Now they have to compete with all. All roads led to the USA.
Fact is that the traditional ways of making money are not going to be as profitable. And if you only needed a market of 400 million to do great and hire lots of workers.. now you need to be selling to the whole world.
