It's easy to dismiss other countries' concerns about acting politically on the effects of globalization when your country dictates the economic policy.

[@rizmacadillac]

Does America really dictate economic policy? Or are we merely a tool of globalization and someone to blame if things go wrong? All I know is I am better off the more money I have and earn and while I sort of understand the issues associated with globalization I am in no position to criticize this nor do I have the power to change it. I'd rather be rich than poor.

Supply chain complexity obviously went to unsustainable extremes, creating fragility in the event of a trade shock. But the drastic de-globalization of the world's economies is an overcompensation. Trade isolationism introduces new fragility into local economies. Even the U.S., who is best positioned for self-reliance, will suffer from the inherent inefficiencies. Globalization isn't dying, it is just hibernating.

[@vinterskugge907]

@@crawkn An important argument for globalization and international trade was that it would prevent wars and conflicts, because it would make would-be rivals and enemies dependent on each other. But as Europe has learnt with regards to Russian energy: Depending on your enemy doesn't make him your friend, it just gives him another weapon to use against you. The US is now learning the same with regards to China. Whether this lesson lasts for exactly 77 years, I don't know, but it will certainly last for a long time.

[@crawkn]

​@@vinterskugge907 What it demonstrates is that there are limits on interdependence due to national security considerations. What it doesn't demonstrate is that there is no healthy balance between international trade and self-reliance. The fact that the world got that balance wrong in one direction, and now is getting it wrong in the other direction, doesn't change the fact that trade has tremendous advantages for all parties. These include both enhancement of economic prosperity _and_ reduced international hostilities. These benefits are real, substantial, and well understood, so they will motivate a resurgence in international trade. The important lesson learned is not that trade is bad, but that you need to be selective about what for, and how much you are dependent on rivals, and that it is important to maintain critical production competencies domestically, even when it costs more. Europe's over-reliance on Russian gas was very well understood to be a security issue, which they elected to risk anyway to enhance economic productivity. Some might reasonably argue that the already reaped rewards of the policy were worth the risk and the eventual consequences. In any case, it won't be the last time nations gamble on high-risk strategies. Remember Ukraine was a gamble by Putin, and he lost too.

The first is the failure of the elites in the US to protect the working classes from the inevitable disruptions caused by globalization. The second is the weakening of government institutions, especially in the US. Finally, the creation of a functional plutocracy has effectively undermined the American democratic system. 🇨🇳 🇨🇳🇨🇳

As we witness the rise of protectionist policies and growing nationalism, it becomes crucial to consider the consequences of these shifts. What comes next? Will we see a reimagining of globalisation, one that prioritizes inclusivity and sustainability?

The real problem for people is simply mass production of goods on a global scale that has long surpassed a healthy demand.

We need a sustainable world that uses resources to produce what we really need.

The US can pull back all it wants, but it can't force everyone else to follow suit. It has the advantage of the most blessed geography on Earth, whatever the stories it likes to tell itself about the vaunted greatness of its people. The rest of the world isn't so lucky. The more the US pulls back, the more it'll just end up isolating itself. The main driver of countries wishing to engage with the US is the debt-powered US consumer market. If the US makes ever more of its people buy American, there'll be little reason for other nations to care anymore. There's resources elsewhere already (plus the US has a habit of hoarding its resources anyway), and cheaper production as well. So NA will end up forming its own little bubble, and the rest of the world will move on from it. All the while Americans will end up paying much higher prices for their stuff.

So many people i know work so hard yet can barely afford the most basic cost of living.. It baffles me. Even tho Society is struggling, We are yet to even attempt to implement a concept around: "The better off the lowest income people are doing; The better off the rest of the economy could be doing." -Think of it like a ecosystem in nature. The littlest things might seem insignificant yet, if they crumbled away, the entire ecosystem could crumble. *(Think of this but as a analogy for our economy and our modern day society..) If we instead decided to support the lowest people in the ecosystem, there would be a beneficial dispersion towards other aspects of the society benefiting. All because the lowest people would be doing better (I say better but I really mean: Able to obtain the most basic living standards..) Yet even that would Vastly improve our current state of our economy & society *Also imagine this analogy in our economy. The more help we invest in the lowest level people, the more it would trickle into every facet of our economy. If poor people can pay their rent & not go homeless: landlords would get $, businesses would get $, banks would get $, local small shops would get $, mortgages & bills could be paid, insurance companies would get $, Taxes would get $, So essentially that $ would go out & filter right back in to improve our Country while simultaneously improving our quality of Life. Every bit of the economy would somehow find a way to benefit off of this situation... I don't get why we haven't even Given it a chance?? If it doesn't help? Then by all means stop it and figure out what else we should do. (I hope we TRY something soon, before things get any more unstable.

The proper check to balance that was/is supposed to be unions, representatives and trade policy with a chain of action emanating from the unemployed/exploited citizens to elected officials and ultimately policy change on employers. Sadly every section of that chain was destroyed with uncontrollable cost of living from the concentration of wealth accumulation staying in Capital and leaving Labor coupled with fentanyl/mental health epidemics attacking the exploited; having electable officials being whittled down to a binary two-party system that overlooks alleviation in favor of clickbait issues; the absence of a salient crisis allows policy to court wealth for private issues, allowing employers unfettered exploitation in search of lower cost for higher reward in Capital accumulation-as during times when the cost for Capital is low, markets capture and store wealth much faster and efficiently with the engine behind the that capture being the lack of policy to keep up with technology when used for arbitrage in either overseas labor+shipping or for domestic automation. Globalization did what it does, Congress, USTR and the WTO forgot humans.

@@Claude_vanIt's no longer in the US' advantage to continue pushing for globalization. The citizens have realized it first as they've lost out a lot of prosperity to lower cost overseas manufacturing, and this has now filtered into the politics. Remember, the US was very isolationist prior to 1941. They did not want to get involved in the affairs of Europe or Asia. They stayed out of the League of Nations because of this. With the Soviet threat neutralized, the US no longer needs the rest of the world's political alliance against another superpower. So, it's really a return to form for lot of Americans to want to go back to doing their own thing and letting everyone else sort it out. This, of course, will result in lower prosperity for everyone, as no other country in the world has the ability or willingness to protect trade they are not directly engaged in, and this will, in turn, result in increased piracy and state sponsored privateering, which will drive up shipping costs and make many trade routes unprofitable, and they will vanish, resulting in shorter and less efficient supply chains.
