      8. This internationalist/unilateralist battle is a struggle within American capitalism, representing two different sectors of business.

      9. Internationalists tend to be finance capital & the big corporations: people with global ties & a long run perspective.

      10. Unilateralists tend to come from small business & inland manufacturing. People who, like Trump, see little advantage from globalism

      11. Trump's various "isolationist" moves (not affirming Article 5, pulling out of Paris Accord) meet with most resistance from big capital.

      12. In the larger scope, the luxury American foreign policy makers had in 1940s-1970s was USA so dominant it could sacrifice to allies.

      13. American global power peaked in 1945, when it had nuclear monopoly & everyone else (Europe, UK, USSR, Japan, China) shattered by war.

      14. In 1945 America had roughly half the productive wealth of the world. That was bound to decline as other nations rebuilt.

      15. As USA goes into inevitable relative decline, some sort of move towards nationalism & away from underwriting globalism was inevitable.

      16. In a better world, the move away from being sole underwriter of globalism would have led to some form of realism, say Bacevich.

      17. In our imperfect world, contradiction between national interest & globalism gave us Trump, a crackpot realist.

      18. Instead of a careful disentanglement from imperial overstrech we have Trump telling allies "show me the $$$" & rejecting climate accord

          18. As it happens, the fine folks at @VersoBooks are having a sale of all Perry Anderson books at 40% off:https://twitter.com/VersoBooks/status/871178441139265536 …

          Jeet Heer added,

          19. All of Anderson's books are worth reading, of course. Aside from USA Foreign Policy, I'd recommend Passages from Antiquity to Feudalism

          Major problem is divergence between our hegemonic military power, relatively declining share of global GDP and sharp drop in soft power.

          Never has a nation w/ indomitable military superiority so rapidly lost global influence. Sets up a dissonance which invites hostile miscalc.

          Vast complexity of global systems probably did not offer controlled disengagement
