His point lies in the assertion that the main effect of American influence lies in the use of American goods and cultural influence, rather than in the actual supply of such materials.
what does "lies in" mean?
Of course, in another context it'll be different:
Now I can indulge myself in nice lies in. = I can stay in bed longer.
Now I can indulge myself in nice lies in. = I can stay in bed longer.
<<"Now I can indulge myself in nice lies in." --> I have never heard this usage and it sounds incorrect to me.>>
Nope - in Britain we use 'lie in' to mean exactly that 'to lie in'. For example "I'm not going to work tomorrow so I am going to have a lie in". It is very common, far more so than "sleep in" which I am assuming means the same thing. In-fact I don't think I've ever heard the term 'sleep in' before.
