      Feels like the justification for our predecessors mortgaging their future which has become our present.

      It will unfortuantely be a very interesting time... As larger and larger percentage of our population "chooses" to not have children (or cant afford them....), society values and domestic and foreign policy will shift. I dont think it will be good for people, or sustainable. Combine that with the long term debt cycle dating back to the boomers. Or will we have japan sustainable? Or spmething else?

      Your perspective is informative but physical goods shipped by sea and air is only one aspect of global trade. One Boeing aircraft is worth a whole ship load of rubber dog crap. One foreign exchange student paying full fees at a US University is bringing tens of thousands back into the country in trade. Tourists bring money back in trade. The stock market is free to sell securities to foreign nationals. The trouble with the status quo for society is that there are relatively few people providing those goods and services and their gains aren't trickling down to the people who used to work at the rubber dog crap factory in the US.

      It’s hard to tell exactly what your understanding is about U.S. economic policy in relation to global geopolitics, but if you’re worried about trade deficits, you’re barking up the wrong tree and you do not understand the economic basis of our policies.
      To oversimplify, trade deficits are not owed by the U.S., they are owed by individual companies. These deficits are driven by consumer demand, as Pete points out. That demand is driven by demographics. However, those trade imbalances benefit our country, both in terms of global stability and in terms of powering our economy. The trade imbalances are part of the cement that make the U.S. dollar the base currency of global trade, and this creates a stability that benefits us.
      It’s the keystone of U.S. “hegemony” because it’s the keystone of global trade that benefits the greatest number of people worldwide, and those material benefits go towards those countries with internal stability that follow the international rules based order, i.e Western Democracies. This is a powerful motivation for countries to move towards capitalistic democracy. (I put “hegemony” in quotes because it’s a special kind of economic hegemony. It’s not imperialism nor colonialism as the socialists would have you believe, but clear thinking was never their strong suit.)
      That said, you are not entirely wrong. You’ve arrived at the right conclusion from faulty reasoning. The re-ordering of the world economic system is because of the change in demographics. The world economic system is based on growth and we’ve reached the limits of that growth.
      Pete frames this as the problem but I think that’s the wrong way to think about it. Problems can be solved. Instead it’s better to think about the global changes in demographics as the new conditions, conditions to which we must adapt. And part of that adaptation is global economic retraction and the slow unwinding of U.S. “hegemony”.
      We have to think about capitalism/globalism as a vehicle. It’s a vehicle that has served a purpose in our moving forward. Now road conditions have changed and we must adapt that vehicle to a bumpier road. The system of the world must change to meet the new conditions of declining economic growth, stagnation, or even economic decline.
      Keyword to the above is “system”. We must think in terms of systems and systems of systems. If we don’t, we will be totally unprepared to meet the future.

    We have plenty of young people, they're just not consuming at rates that the previous generation was because it's not economically viable for them to do so, and the trend is furthering in that non-viable direction. It mirrors the argument about "labor shortage". It's not primarily a labor issue, its more a wage issue. Companies maximize profits by paying workers as little as possible, and thus working-age people are able to consume less, causing companies to be further incentivized to pay workers less in order to keep profits high, which further hampers working-age people's ability to consume, and the cycle continues further downward.

      That all tracks. You have a masterful ability to give such complex models clarity. Thank you. I would have a 'lively discussion' about your characterization of our political system. I would argue that it is the very success of the elite in destroying the effective power of unions that has created a malignant tweedist plutocracy that dominates our political discourse. We are regional first past the post in representation, but the contestants are completely reliant and beholden to the plutocratic elite who fund them on both sides. The political shift we are experiencing is less a shifting of the deck chairs than an upheaval by the electorate becoming aware that they do not control their own system and being willing to go to extremes to overthrow it. (Not just with the christo fascist right, Obama was the pendulum swinging left looking for change that never appeared either.) That pendulum will swing higher and with greater consequence if that energy is not dissipated. The ultra right gets that and is willing and actively attempting to make sure they nail that pendulum in place on their side of the spectrum - a dangerous and foolish strategy. Deglobalization will stick because the economy of scale in mass producing and distributing goods is shifting with technological disruption. The decoupling of labor from productivity will lead to competitive advantage in localized production of goods, eventually down to the individual household. This is the driving reason that negates the necessity for a hegemonic police presence guaranteeing global security. The incredibly dangerous catalytic risk in that shift is that destructive power is now global and nuclear war in Ukraine, or Pakistan, or North Korea, has very real impact on our security. As the United States withdraws from it's role as policeman the world will either disintegrate into feuding local influences or it will come together to replace the US role with a truly representative global security system (the dreaded world government the elite have fired the fears of everyone with.) An overarching government for governments is a natural evolution of the playing field we are entering and it is necessary for a civilization that is able to provide well for its peoples. Global strategists should be illuminating this evolution and helping to prepare the ground for development and implementation of a new world order that guarantees individual human rights within all societies and ensures equitable relationships between regions and interests. There are many influential disruptive technological changes that will shape this landscape - our movement into virtual presences will change our concepts of nationalism and societal identification, the end of aging and disease will shift our generational demographic models like puree in a blender. The timeframe is a lot shorter than we realise and our current demographic modeling predicting labor shortages and the disruption of economies due to a smaller consumption base will have to be reformed. As always with humans we are excellent adapters and shitty preparers. it will take a catalytic global crisis to create enough liquid mobility to shape a new order - the UN was supposed to be that answer after world war 2 but the system wasn't prepared or structured to make it successful and it became coopted by security council nations. (Arguably with fair reason considering the laundry list of corruption and rights violations heading UN councils. LOL) You really don't want some of these countries to influence and control an enforcement organization with the power to dominate your ability to govern. It will however become necessary and inevitable for one dominant organization to supervise a globally interconnected society. If we or others try to do it by group force it will blow up in our faces. Literally. Preparing to shape that catalytic moment is the best we can do right now and hope there is enough left to do it well.

      Chinas economic boom stopped in 2008 when non-productive debt took over, they have been amassing a debt burden since then, COVID has worsened the situation and still is, its debt burden is $57,000,000,000,000 approx. and counting. World Trade will continue with or without the U.S. as it has always done since ancient times, and if it does withdraw it economy will depreciate further, it will no longer be the reserve currency and it will not maintain its security budget, you don't need a big military to guard your back yard, especially when most of your citizens have six guns!?!

      I see America using it's navy to ensure trade continues with Europe, SE Asia (not with China so much, but Japan, Korea, Taiwan and potentially Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia).
      Apart from that it will "Protect" trade with Australia and some South American countries (likely Chile).
      The rest of the trade routes in the world? Not relevant to the USA. Don't expect an American lead Naval task force to keep African Pirates from taking over ships, Do not expect the USA Navy to care much about what happens in the middle east oil fields either.
      This will actually make the USA economy even stronger, and it should make the US Dollar still the best option for a global currency.

No wolf pack would allow a wolf like that to remain. No deer would willingly bring food to another deer who would only sleep all day. No rabbit will go back and rescue their friend from a trap. Humans have this tendency, especially now, to think they are more important than anything else in life, but we aren't even close to being needed in any way, shape, or form except to ourselves.

    Why does everyone have to think of globalization as good or bad? It's a natural consequence of economic disparity between countries. If one economy is better than another, it will shift labor to the lower cost region. As the economic fortunes of the countries equalize, the trade pressure decreases. It's like saying osmosis or convection is good or bad. It's just a natural process. Globalization will continue until the remaining economies of SE Asia, Africa and South America improve and exhaust their labor advantages. Then trade will be based more on natural resources unique to certain regions than on labor.

      What Peter means is that China has to pivot to a consumer based growth model. China is not the cheapest place to produce goods anymore, so being able to sustain manufacturing as a growth model will lead to a stagnant economy.
      Can't keep building bridges and apartments for GDP growth. Those are non performing assets.

Sure the world can do without the USA but then there is no law its everyman for himself, we have been there for hundreds of years it was only the British Empire and now the USA that holds the game together. If you think China will show up some corner of the world to protect other countries trade routes out of their good will? Fucking think again, they dont give 1 shit it's only what serves them. The USA sacrificed its own industry and ship building and everything to the benefit of the world and enjoy a period of low inflation in return but if the world kicks out the USA then it will close the door and re-industrialize in a country that has the resources, more land for agriculture than any other country and a low population to easily meet all needs for millennia so they don't need the outside world, just got to keep adding more nuclear weapons and more counter measures and be untouchable and the USA can live in isolation like fucking Kings with no debts and crazy wealth while the rest of the world is suffering famines, wars, trade collapse, end to free access of the seas and whatever else goes down. Is that a good world to live in? No. The EU will be long gone by then and war will return to Europe probably just Russia taking out anger on millions and millions of people and eating up most of Europe but would that harm the USA? No. This is why Putin was depressed that the USA countered him he expected to USA to just leave Ukraine alone because Russia taking over Ukraine is good for the USA it keeps a sword hanging over Europe which is a competitor to the USA so it helps the USA by Russia threatening Europe but he failed to see that the USA would support the democracy and freedom that people of Ukraine desire out of the Good will of Americans so the mentality in the USA to support people that want self determination is not yet gone, it will some day but not yet.

Several other countries are now in population decline (China, Russia, Germany, Italy, etc). The US has kept even with a higher birth rate and immigration, but it's now about to slip back too.
