If the balance of power is indeed beginning to shift, it would mark an end to the virtually uninterrupted rise of American brands since World War II. All international brands are being undermined by two big changes in consumer attitudes: sagging confidence in the future, coupled with a growing tendency to buy local, according to Roper.
