Trump's tariffs just killed the post-war development model. It was already dying (h/t Oks & Williams, American Affairs). What comes next? My dive into the fallout & potential new paths like green industrialization:

Both strategically and economically terrible, huge tariffs against Vietnam and others will achieve nothing for the U.S., but it will destroy the ability of these countries to achieve significant development for their millions of citizens through export manufactures to America. #Trump #Tariffs

Trump's tariffs aren't just another trade spat; they may be the final blow to the post-war global development model. I argue it marks the 'Death of Development' as we knew it. 🧵

Couldn’t agree more with the FT calling Trump's tariffs an astonishing act of self-harm. These actions amount to a voluntary retreat from US global influence, and fits perfectly with the patterns of hegemonic decline (Arrighi) I detailed here: open.substack.com/pub/concerni...
