Atlanticists Take Swipe at Globalization

The Atlanticists are suggesting that globalization could collapse, and that the world has seen this before. Krugman came out with this thesis in one of his recent columns, and now the Atlanticists are quickly jumping on it to echo it. As I've said before, those few who enjoyed the privileged special trans-national relationships in the pre-globalization era are upset at how globalization has swamped the specialness of those previously privileged relationships. These people have a vested interest in seeing globalization fail, so that they can regain their special privileged status.
