Up the US, down the UK. why?

The UK has its glory in the history, but lags behind the US respects in various nowadays, why would this happen? I will analyze the cause for the declining of the UK and the rising of the US with the following two steps:

The cause for the declining of the UK

1. The economic

After losing the status of the "world factory”, the economic of Britain began producing a series of negative factors, the original advantage began translating into some heavy baggage, which include old production department, stick in the mud of the technology, the style of the backward management and so on. The margins with a low profit forced the capital flowed to the foreign. In turn, it affects the growth rate of the UK economy, which makes the status of British industry weak in the further global competition.

It appears obviously in the UK labor movement and labor organization. It increases the difficulty of two sides reached a compromise because of the unique union structure.
