Globalization/Trump

Catalog description

For the US the honeymoon with globalization is over. Trump is part of the response. Russell Vought (Project 2025) heads the White House Office of Management and Budget with plans to drastically cut Medicare and Social Security. When the center doesn’t hold realignments follow. White supremacy means retribution for critics of DJ Trump and Democrats. Trump 1.0 represented populism, Trump 2.0 represents authoritarianism. Questions: Is the problem Trump or the US? Is Trump’s journey part of American decline? Is blaming China the way forward for the US? What are the agendas of billionaires? Just political economy or also culture? Is what is on the table American culture or also American civilization? Another world is already in the making.
