An insight from September:
yalereview.org/article/dasg...
so, what is the crisis? First, the United States can no longer control the flow of strategic resources (oil, minerals, agricultural commodities) into the global economy. This is an essential responsibility of any capitalist superpower. In the nineteenth century, Britain’s approach was to occupy one-quarter of the earth’s surface and subject it to a coherent commercial law. After 1945, the United States tried to achieve a similar end without physical occupation, which required more complex arrangements. To guarantee the flow of key industrial resources, America had to manipulate territories it did not directly control. During the decades of the Cold War, it did so through a network of client states and through a widespread campaign of wars and coups. In the 1980s and 1990s, it arrived at what was supposed to be a final resolution: the so-called Washington Consensus, whereby supranational laws and institutions would bind all states to a single trade and property regime. The World Trade Organization was the most conspicuous emblem of this new order; there were also novel instruments for bypassing the laws and policies of individual nations
