You were not born when the decoupling began.

As recently as the 1970s, the world was getting unambiguously more coupled. As recently as the 1990s, it was ambiguously so.

And decoupling only started to really happen last year. Before that it was going in a glacial pace.

    it depends where you look. there's been intentional economic globalism in areas. regionalism? we applauded nixon for making inroads with china.

    an interconnected global economy is the soundest defensive military policy i can think of. what government is going to be fool enough to blow up iran's economy when iran's economy is their economy too? (yes krasnov is fool enough it was a stupid question but you get it right?)
