tl;dr But check out a few passages from Krainer on Trump vs. the Bankers
Krainer’s caption: Trump’s agenda is next to impossible to discern, but taking a 36,000 ft view and 200-year context suggests there may be a method to the madness…
Please give him the click (below). He worked pretty hard on this, clearly.
“I suspect that Trump’s ultimate agenda could be aimed at returning the United States to Alexander Hamilton’s American System of political economy and away from the British free trade system. The difference is that the American System allocates credit for industrialization and productive ends while the British free trade system credits nonproductive uses aimed at inflating, then bursting asset bubbles..
“The American System turned the United States from a patchwork of disjointed British colonies into the world's most prosperous and most powerful nation. It is possible that in his effort to “Make America Great Again,” Trump wants to return it to that system. However, he obviously can’t come out and state this openly: all eight U.S. presidents who have either been assassinated or “mysteriously died” in office were promoters of Hamilton’s American System.”
I am unable to decide if Hamilton economics would be good or bad for us. What say you?
