My
theory is that America needs to reverse some amount of globalization as its influence wanes. We’ll lose some of the cost benefits - it’s very cheap to source labor from third world countries - but we’ll gain from local production, perhaps meaning costs go up but wealth circulates more readily. Whether that’s a very inspiring idea, I can’t say.
But I’m unconvinced local politics are any better than national politics. We don’t seem to have any trouble traveling to Washington to protest.
