Trump’s tariffs are the end of globalisation Europe can’t fight a trade war

When regimes end, they end in phases. Communism died over a period of 10 years, starting with the strike at the Gdansk shipyard in 1980. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 was the great symbolic episode, and the 1991 coup against Mikhail Gorbachev was the final push. Yesterday was globalisation’s Gorbachev moment. Trump’s first term was Gdansk, the canary in the coal mine.

When you really think about it, it’s essentially a legal Ponzi scheme. The success of your investment depends on people coming in after you and investing at a higher price. As more and more money goes in, the prices go up. But when less money goes in, like when Baby Boomers retire or people pull out because they lose their jobs, the prices start to fall.
