Trump and his ministers are mindful of Britain's fate. Once workshop of the world, they adopted free trade, lost their factories, financialized, and became the odd ruin they are today. How did Britain go from Diamond Jubilee to Suez to Starmer? It's a tale to be told, but within that tale is the story of Britain's deindustrialization, no better signified than the closure of its last thermal power plant.
I'm not certain of free trade was the prime cause of Britain's deindustrialization. Trump and his team are betting that it was. I'm worried like many about the coming tariffs and some of his other measures, not the least being the proposed port fees on Chinese ships. Some very important decisions are going to be made in a few months by one man; and while I applaud the goal I'm doubtful of the means. Great care should be taken.

It is a very historic and dangerous time
