Globalization & Its Discontents

Globalization & Its Discontents by MSW.  MGB: Actually, American was pretty much drenched in blood by the Civil War and the violence of the Slave Power which led up to it, although total war only happened at the end with Sherman's March.  We had our test of whether a confederate system of government beats a national government and the confederate system lost the war, but won the peace for another hundred years, until equal protection law became much more muscular.  Europe is still flirting with its confederate period, much in the same way the original 13 staes did before the Constitution was used to seize power.  Such a seizure will likely happen in Europe and beyond (the United Nations is also a confederation which cannot stand forever).  Subsidiarity is not so important a principal as sovereignty here.  Europe doesn't have it yet.  It needs it and will get it.
