In the words of one of the President’s men, the objective was to trigger “a controlled disintegration of the world economy”.</blockquote><blockquote>No, those words were not spoken by members of President <a href="https://social.dromografos.report/tags/Trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> ’s team in advance of their “Liberation Day” tariff splurge. While the “foreigners are out to screw us” certainly has a Trumpian ring, it was uttered in the summer of 1971 by then Treasury Secretary John Connally, who succeeded in convincing his President to unleash the infamous <a href="https://social.dromografos.report/tags/Nixon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nixon</a> Shock a couple of days later.</blockquote><p></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Trump is therefore not the first President to seek the controlled disintegration of the world economy by means of a devastating blow. Nor is he the first to purposely damage America’s allies to renew and prolong US hegemony. Nor the first who was prepared to hurt Wall Street in the short run in the process of strengthening US capital accumulation in the long term. Nixon had done all that half a century earlier.</p><p>And the irony is that the world the Western liberal establishment is grieving over today came into being as a result of the Nixon Shock. While admonishing the idea of a US President delivering a rude shock to the world economy, they are lamenting the passing of what only came into being because of another President’s readiness to deliver an even ruder shock. That is, the Nixon Shock gave birth to the darlings of today’s liberal establishment: neoliberalism, financialisation and globalisation."</p><p><a href="https://unherd.com/2025/04/will-liberation-day-transform-the-world/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">unherd.com/2025/04/will-libera</span><span class="invisible">tion-day-transform-the-world/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeWar</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tariffs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Protectionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Protectionism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Nixon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nixon</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Dollar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dollar</span></a></p>
