Pepe Escobar — How Donald Trump will follow the money

The headline is a bit misleading. The post is much broader and includes US foreign and military policy as well as the economy.

In modern liberal "democracies," policy battles are among elites, and this one is between industrial capital and finance capital. Industrial capitalists want their country back and think that Trump can deliver it to them.

Policy is prime determinate in macroeconomics, and this is a policy war among US elite and their disparate interests. Since the US is the global hegemon, its economic, foreign and military policy shapes the global economy as well as geopolitics. Industrial capital wants a course correction. Finance capital, backed by the Democrats, want to stay on course, which is a collision course with Russia and China in Eurasia.
