"These high carbon systems were trialled and developed as mass forms within the US before and after the Second World War.
They were a product of the American Dream and involved partial public funding and their growing path dependent interrelationships."
J'ai beaucoup de mal avec la structure même de la fin de la phrase.
Je vous remercie par avance.

"Ces systèmes à haute tendeur en carbone ont été mis à l'essai et développés en tant que formes de masse aux États-Unis avant et après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.
Ils étaient un produit du rêve américain et impliquaient un financement partiel du public et [la dépendance interrelationnelle de la direction de leur croissance].
j'essaye juste de donner un sens à la structure: ces "high carbon stystems" impliquaient "partial public funding" et de plus en plus d'interrelations entre les retombées historiques des choix de gestion (là je me perd un peu, je vois...).
enfin, une fois que la structure est plus claire, je crois que l'apport de FX Fraipont sur la définition de "path dependent" puisse etre la clé pour une bonne traduction...
On dirait qu'il manque un morceau après interrelationships - il manque un verbe .
Sinon "path-dependent interrelationships", on peut comprendre :
"Path dependence
Path dependence explains how the set of decisions one faces for any given circumstance is limited by the decisions one has made in the past, even though past circumstances may no longer be relevant.[1]
In economics and the social sciences the phrase implies either:
* (A) that "history matters" - a broad concept,[2] or
* (B) that predictable amplifications of small differences are a disproportionate cause of later circumstances. And, in the "strong" form, that this historical hang-over is inefficient.[3]
The first usage, (A): "history matters" is trivially true in the explanatory context; everything has causes. And, in these fields, the direct influence of earlier states isn't notable[4] (compare "path dependent" options in finance, where the influence of history can be non standard).
