Wow. Am I the only one more amazed every day at just how badly we've been governed in the U.S. going back at least to Ronald Reagan's last day in office? (And I feel this way despite feeling nothing but miles-deep contempt and disrespect for our governing class going back decades.)

No matter what you think of words like those of Glazyev above (and of others we've read on this site and elsewhere the last several weeks), at least they are of a seemingly serious person making a serious attempt to think seriously. And all this from a person of a nation decidedly lacking in republican makeup. Here at home we have the greatest republic in human history, and all we ever get is grade-school gaslighting bullshit that wouldn't pass a seriousness test administered by your average home-schooled 7-year-old.

What he's describing is the very messy, but very healthy return to global economic competition, priced to ALL comers in their native currency, whatever it may be. Almost Austrian in both its simple and complex forms.
