These are not original thoughts but the result of thinking sparked by a number of recent articles by Sudha Shenoy, Paul Craig Roberts, Bjørn Lomborg, and Butler Shaffer, among others. These writers have persuaded me that the really important trends in our time are not being noticed, not being talked about, or not discussed from the proper angle.
The market economy – globalized, enormously powerful, breathtaking in scope and breadth – is remaking the world in ways that far surpass any existing political development in the US, from the crafted blather of the State of the Union to the mad rush to grab the Democratic nomination. We are living through changes that may appear slow if observed from the point of view of the daily headlines, but which are momentously fast and completely transforming when looked at globally and from the point of view of years and decades into the future.
These developments are going to bring about surprising political shifts, profound upsets in rooted cultural assumptions, and an eventual and merciful end to the US imperium. These changes will touch everyone in ways that will be both stunning and glorious for average Americans, and deeply disturbing for the American regime that aspires to unchallenged global hegemony.
