Globalisation has been a disaster - Brexit gives us a chance to resist it
Not a bad article from Novara here, quite interesting. Props to Bastani for consistently pushing a critical angle on the EU, even if half their stuff is na na identity politics and Ash Sarka gobbing off about xyz (maybe unfair she is clearly talented). There is a video of the author here debating the annoying Zoe Williams of the Guardian and Another Europe is Possible.
My main concerns are in this viewing Globalisation as several different things or kinds - it is only one thing, with different faces. And in viewing it as reaching its peak, failing, crumbling etc... cant see any evidence for this whatsoever. Not that it matters as the whole debate is too jingoiatic and wordy anyway!
With China dominating Asia and Africa and capital stronger than ever, I also worry about the academic nature of the argument. Being right and smart and well read won't stop capital. How does Oxford PPE and MSC Grace Blakely suggest we can develop powerful participatory groups and institutions which react against capital flight and the bankrupting and destruction of a Britain that doesnt play ball.
Obviously no one person can answer this but I think this is the big unanswered question with Brexit if it assumes a more confrontational form with the EU and neoliberal institutions. How are 'we' going to reign in the City of London corporation etc and create new well paid jobs across Britain, move away from a market model for housing transport healthcare etc.
