globalization
The ongoing process of globalization is often presented as an example of and an argument against the liberalization of trade. What does globalization consist of? Ongoing calls for economic ‘governance’ and budgetary oversight by central bankers. The administration of trade policy by treaties unaccountable and unexposed to national parliamentary debate. The discussion of various models of international taxation in the name of climate and economy. And yet with palpable irony, not a single one of these trends bears even a family resemblance to liberalization on the classical model. That would require a decentralization of economic control and an accompanying limitation of government power, not wider oversight by an EEC, GATT, WTO or NAFTA. Instead, the ways in which power is being uploaded, centralized, and institutionalized far beyond the reach of your vote looks every day more like the old mercantile expansionism of the European crowns and their chartered agents or China’s contemporary authoritarian economy than anything that could be called free market. In a free republic, state and economy are separate and the people rule themselves via elected representation. Under metastasizing global technocracy, we’re increasingly ruled by a complex of integrated state and business interests steered by appointed mandarins.
