      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 …

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

          20. Other good Anderson books: Lineages of the Absolutist States, Considerations on Western Marxism, Indian Ideology, Post-Modernity

          21. "The Indian Ideology" is controversial but I liked it as a good corrective to Congress Party mythology.

          Perry & Benny Anderson are likely the most iconic sibling duo in academia

          Thank you, this is enlightening; it's just too bad that the person doing the disentangling is Trump...
