Trump’s Critical-Minerals Strategy Is Exposing the Myth of the Free Market—and Showing How Quickly the American State Can Plan an Economy When Empire Demands It
Thank you for this Mr. Murphy. It would be helpful if you could compare the cost of, say, government support of rare earth production and, say, Medicare for all. I hope that they are comparable, but I fear that Medicare for all is much more costly.
Until such time as the US accepts its new role as a major world power and quits insisting on being the dominant global hegemon it is spinning its tires. The unipolar world is gone and the multipolar world is here to stay. It should be thinking in terms of reciprocity, lifting all boats, detente and recognition we are now a global community where international cooperation is essential.
Really good stuff, especially the careful analysis of socialism vs various alternative forms of state ownership. I suppose one could argue that state ownership, in some contexts, contains the “seeds” of socialism, as it were. But that’s a different question.
WOW, every time I click on an article by you, I know my knowledge base will increase.
Keep digging and expose!
Thanks!

That's now called "collective security" instead of "absolute security." It requires RESPECT and trust and actual diplomacy.
