I’m not sure I quite see your case there.
What I’m talking about are changes that need to be made that would be seen as heresy by the political class in DC:
- restricting immigration, both illegal and legal
- ending “too big to fail” in the banking system and declaring some forms of financial derivatives to be null and void
- ending the idiotic notion of “free trade” in a world of currency manipulation
and so on. These things won’t happen, much less be proposed, and as a result we’re on a glidepath forward and down.
I was thinking of cultural and economic upheaval's that change part of the world and ultimately benefit the U.S. From 1938 to 1942 a wave of financial assets moved from Europe into U.S. banks, markets and industries ahead of the Blitzkrieg. The economy was strengthened in spite of FDR's counter intuitive policies.
