On Trump, China and the reordered global politics of authoritarian capitalism.
Jan 21 2017
The fact that the US, France and Russia could get cozy with one another because they all believe in a more authoritarian system and a global political system that's determined by balance of power as opposed to values, such as democracy or human rights - that's also another space in which we're seeing greater medievalism.
Writer Rebecca Liao surveys the shifting dynamics between President Trump, China and capitalism's global elite - from Trump's early, incoherent positions on global trade, to the Davos set's attraction to the stability of authoritarian capitalism - and sees the rise of a new medievalism in response to the collapse of the liberal consensus.
Rebecca wrote the article Trumpism and the Davos Man for n+1.
