Does anyone know anything good to read on US anti-Fed mobilization in the 1980s and 1990s? The brilliant Elizabeth Sanders conjures a connection here from 1890s that I was not aware of. Apparently Clinton triangulated it v. Greenspan????? Is this S&L related? https://t.co/GMn3fkuewH
@pratinavanil @davies_will And the profound Americanism of his breakfast choices reflects the undigested (geddit) legacy of his Atlanticist upbringing whilst somehow steering clear of the utter moral downfall of coco puffs.
Per capita manuf value added across the US in the early 20th century gives a stark image of “core” v. “Periphery”. From work by Elizabeth Sanders and Richard Bensel. https://t.co/2PNM3W1BIz

"The argument, then, is that both state structures and economic interests matter, and that both must be seen as more internally diverse categories than is usually recognized.” Oh how I love the work of Elizabeth Sanders! https://t.co/5EYEfWEqLH

@t0nyyates @Birdyword For context here: term has started and someone had to do some 5 am reading about William Jennings Bryan, populism and the gold standard …. So cereal experiments were an obvious accompaniment. In fact Irving Fisher might not have approved. Too much flavor!
Is this a thing? I just crumbled some leftover nutty crackers into the remains of some Special K and the effect … the effect, my friends, is rather stunning. All of a sudden the bland over-sweet Kellogs cereal has a rich nutty, even peppery flavor. https://t.co/AcPw2P6B5e

@holymolybazzoli @Noahpinion Yeah. Sorry. This is a wrap on my side. Got a lot of class prep for tomorrow ….
@Noahpinion Furthermore, American military dominance does not imply a specific desire to “dominate China” unless China actually attempts to assert itself. Only then is the question posed.
@Noahpinion On this we clearly disagree. Public in other Asian countries may be worried but I dont think this is the driver of US strategic repositioning.
Plus this may help @Noahpinion I didn’t write this for Foreign Policy I wrote it for New Statesman as Leo says, it is directed at mainly European discourse of “post-American world”. twitter.com/leopoldasch/st…
@Noahpinion Sure the US is reacting. Q: What is it reacting to? A: Challenges to its unrivaled global dominance that arise from the mere existence of other great powers. That in itself is a historic shock registered by NDS 2018 etc. Ambition? Restore/uphold overmatch i.e. unrivaled dominance

@SamRoggeveen Yup. Agreed. I am again and again struck by the staggering insouciance with which the escalation of 2020 is simply taken for granted in US. As though eviscerating Huawei was just another trade policy move.
@SamRoggeveen I am sure your diagnosis is shared by many tech firms, manufacturers and much of Wall Street.
@SamRoggeveen I think “the blob” is struggling to formulate a coherent answer. Biden has claimed to primacy in so many words. Folks like Campbell identify US with Taiwan/Japan-> see China as "security threat". Military technicians want to counter denial of access.
@Noahpinion In fact, if memory serves, I mention Russia too as helping to consolidate the shift around 2014. It kinda goes without saying that both COIN & the "third offset" are essentially reactive. It kinda says so “on the tin” doesnt it?
@Noahpinion The essay is directed towards correcting the post-Kabul talk of post-American world. It therefore focuses on highlighting the ambition of American planners and scale of American spending. No more. No less. Evidently China is in the background.
Doesnt that depend critically on how “the most plausible scenarios” are constructed? Obviously, the US has more difficulty asserting exclusive control over its exorbitant sphere of influence than before. US military efforts are directed towards redressing that.
@Noahpinion Hi Noah sorry you didn’t find it convincing. But I am puzzled: a. By what metric is the US not a military hyperpower? and b. I don’t think US military focus is entirely driven by processes internal to the US and the essay doesn’t say that.
