Internationalism

Will talks with Tobita Chow to set the stage for our series on internationalism. We talk about the breakdown of US global authority, the twilight of the neoliberal era, and the turn to economic nationalism in the United States and abroad. Toby helps us to see Bidenomics as a response by US capitalists to a global crisis of profitability. We try to understand the likely consequences of Bidenomics: Whether it is likely to succeed or fail on its own terms, and what either would mean for the shape of global politics to come. We speculate about the prospects for building a left internationalist power bloc from within the United States.
