yanis varoufakis and others have written extensively about the manner in which trump’s actions are sort of a (poorly constructed, extremely not thought-out) reversal of the post-Bretton Woods economic global order.
If anything that makes me feel that even a hyper-liberal like Nixon was still actually competent, despite how much he fucked up but his administration were still planning things, they still cared.

Any writings you recommend for that in particular?

with the caveat that i think yanis is probably giving the trump guys too much credit in terms of actually having thought this through.

Cool, thanks!
