The following article doesn't deal with metric, but about US economic policy in general since the end of the 2-nd World War until the present and beyond.
 
Seeing how the US has such dominance in both economy and military, can one ever envision the US following the world and becoming a metric country?  But if that dominance becomes weak enough or ends completely and the US has to play by the same rules as everyone else, then the motivation will exist to bring about full metrication. 
 
I highly doubt that under the present US global economic strategy, as long as it exists, will the US ever see the need to metricate.  We are wasting our time hoping for such a miracle.  If or when that miracle happens, the US will be a totally different country then it is now.
