Aaron Menenberg — Linchpin Politics: The Economic-Foreign Policy Nexus

We talk a lot about how geopolitics affect economic performance, and vice-versa. But we miss the importance of the overlap between the two policy sets. With American economic and foreign policy barely containing crises, it is time to consider the two, together, in the same conversation....
This article makes an important point. Policy and economics are joined at the hip.

The rest of the article is mostly fantasy, but it reflects a widespread and influential perception that also shapes the mindset of TPTB in the US and abroad, and therefore is a significant factor.
