Economic nationalism as the way out of being submerged in greed

Grotesque, hypertrophied greed, that is the danger of capitalism and the free enterprise system, but capitalism and the free enterprise system can be saved with economic nationalism. Money alone should not define the total extent of a person, this attitude has given dishonest, unscrupulous and even stupid people great honor and respect based solely on their money. The position of money in the grotesque capitalism of globalism has overturned and confounded natural human behavior, and even human nature itself, money has become a divinity, ruling and defining everything, truth, beauty, goodness, governments, everything.

Economic nationalism suggests that neither big government or big business rules, the golden mean between them rules. Government protects the free enterprise system within the regions and states of the nation, that is, not only protection from foreign imports, but protection from the influence and dominance of national corporations who might want to monopolize everything. Neither big government or big business can fairly and efficiently run the economic system.

 

Both the government and philanthropy get their real money from the business and working world within a free enterprise system---where else would the real money come from? Government and philanthropy therefore depend on our free enterprise system, which is why the economic system should be kept as free as it can be to innovate with great variety. Then we can trade with each other and the world on fair terms.

 

But that freedom must now be defined as a global fair-trade freedom, not a global free-trade where global corporations destroy the manufacturing base of a nation to enrich themselves, which has happened in America.

 

We need to revitalize economic nationalism, which is how America and other nations originally gained health and power. We need to give the power back to the regions and small states so the most efficient level of economic operations can flourish, and then we need to protect that freedom with the light federalism that the Founder's envisioned.

Where are the politician's promoting a sane and healthy economic nationalism? Apparently they have been submerged in greed.
