I very much doubt it'll be so easy. The US is the strongest military power, a fundamental reason for Capitalism to prop on it, although China may be making progress in this connection despite communist excuses.

AN Important account of how, possibly, the nation-states are now transmogrifying into 'market states' may be found in /The Shield of Achilles/, by Philip Bobbitt. The /raison/ of the nation-states was the 'well-being of the people'. This now, rather obviously, is "going right to Hell!" (as my american farm-neighbour, 87-year-old Judson Andersen, would out it here at home in Hither Ioway.) Here is a 'link' to a review of Bobbitt:
