The end of globalisation?

According to Darren Jones.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg10yjp7meo

Seems very premature but one of the more interesting set of conversations in the coming months perhaps. Covid, environmental concerns, economic stagnation since 2007 do seem to have raised more questions over the current model in recent years. It was always a very hot topic when I was at university 20+ years ago.

Globalism is dead.

X is as much a feature of globalism as child labour in Far East sweatshops producing US jeans.

You think it isn't alive?

Have you stopped triangulating and joining the dots? A massive lurch by the USA towards isolationism and protectionism will dent the globalisation model, but it does not end it.

By the way, who do you think are the supporters of globalism on here? I know some posters like some features of globalism (I do when it comes to certain technologies and to borderless communication) but overall I can't think of anyone who is an uncritical cheerleader.
