18th century Enlightenment liberalism as a quasi-religion liberal internationalism as the basis for new crusade (liberal interventionism). Economically and politically, it is the quest for global dominance based on dominance-submission as an evolutionary trait of a humanity that is still maturing and has not yet grasped the potential of reason.

“ that is still maturing and has not yet grasped the potential of reason.”
But at the same time in thread above you are bitching and moaning about :
“ Conventional economists are barking up the wrong tree and refuse to recognize it. ”
How do you square that up?
In the former you’re advocating for reason then in the latter your saying it doesn’t work...

You know Trumps strong preference for his “negotiation “ vs the previous policy of warfare is a form of your “reason”...
Trump says thesis ... Kim says antithesis ... they go back and forth ... eventually they reach a synthesis of the two thesis that are mutually agreeable... warfare avoided...

Yet you don’t support Trump...
Hypo (under) Krites (decide) .... you can’t make a decision...
