A globalist bemoans the end of globalism in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. He is probably too pessimistic - globalism will simply return with a vengeance in three months - but it´s nevertheless interesting to see the deep-seated fears of some establishment pundits.
I mean, it´s not like this is the last pandemic, after all. And if it´s both possible and necessary to shut down the global marketplace from time to time just to stay alive, somebody (as in "most voters") might draw the conclusion that perhaps we should lock it down permanently.
Note, btw, that one of the alternative options mentioned by the author of the linked article is *regional* cooperation, rather than strict national isolation. So what´s the problem, then?
COVID-19 is the Fourth Turning.
The end of globalism is near
