‘Progressive Protectionism’ - the Alternative to Globalisation and Mass Migration ‘Progressive Protectionism’ is the first book to detail the policies required to protect local economies worldwide in order to take advantage of the fact that globalisation and mass migration are coming to an end. President Trump and right wing European leaders have understood these huge changes and have opposed present levels of immigration and open borders to job destroying flows of goods, capital and services and have electorally benefited as a result. ‘Progressive Protectionism’ accuses the left, greens and small ‘c’ conservatives of having been slow to spot these trends and of having absolutely no overarching alternative proposals to offer. The book provides just that, with detailed policies explaining how countries could protect, rebuild and diversify their economies by limiting the flow of people, goods, finance and services they allow to cross their borders. Progressive protectionism offers an internationalist, more equitable and environmentally protective end goal for groupings of nation states to protect and re diversify their national economies and help others to do the same. In doing so it will enable groupings of countries such as the European Union to challenge open borders and international competitiveness and thus wean themselves off export dependence. Domestic businesses and funding sources could then meet the needs of the majority in society in all countries. The prospect of such increasing economic security could gain widespread political support ranging from those on the left, the centre, the greens through to small ‘c’ conservatives.Summary of Policies‘Progressive Protectionism’ will require the introduction by nation states of a set of interrelated and self-reinforcing policy priorities:Reintroducing protective safeguards to ensure revitalised local and national economies. These will include the reintroduction of tariffs, quotas, capital controls and the ability to strengthen constraints on the numbers and pace of immigration. This is the fundamental mind wrench that will do most to curb the present power of big business to play countries off against each other and to threaten to relocate unless countries bow the knee to open borders and global competition. It is the necessary precursor to being able to introduce the rest of the policies; Introduce a site-here-to-sell-here policy for manufacturing and services domestically or regionally; Control and localise finance such that the majority stays within its country of origin;Control the numbers, rate and ability of new immigrants to stay and work temporarily or permanently Introduce fairer and socially positive taxes and resource and pollution taxes and tackle aggressive tax dodging nationally and globally in order to fund social and environmental improvements and help pay for the transition to permanent, sustainable and flourishing local economies;Implement a local competition policy to eliminate monopolies from the more protected economies; Re-orientate the end goals of aid and trade rules such that they contribute to the rebuilding of local economies and local control worldwide.Under these circumstances, beggar-your-neighbour globalisation gives way to the potentially more cooperative, better-your–neighbour Progressive Protectionism.The book does not advocate a return to the oxymoronic protectionism of the 30s, where the goal was often for each protected industry or country to increase its economic strength by limiting imports and then hoping to compete and export globally at the expense of others. Unsurprisingly the more countries did this, the less trade there was between them. Progressive Protectionism aims at reducing permanently the amount of international trade in goods, money and services and to enable nation states to decide the level of migration that their citizen’s desire.
