Did you actually read the article, or is this just your knee jerking to the left?
It's not leftist.
In many ways, I'm much to the right of Atilla.
I just love my nation and my countrymen more than I love sand you-know-whats and Chinamen.
And, on the whole, "free trade" has been destructive to my nation, and my countrymen.
And, since I know you don't believe that, let me add: A truly global economy, at least one which is stable and long-lasting, will require - does require - global government. All trade routes, and all gold stores, will always require centurions to repel barbarians.
