Excellent article, as usual Philip. It struck me when reading your article that there was another group involved, who thrive on chaos, namely the Sovereign Individuals, who think the Nation State has had its day, allowing them to control the world, particularly if the future is disorder. Do you think the retreat of Globalisation and the rise of the "secure" State and hopefully a more secure World, helps or hinders their ambitions? They together with Putin gave us the infinite chaos of Brexit. Could reigning them in through regulation, allow us to drop the withering Brexit Burden? Post Johnson of course.
Philip, if the pendulum is swinging to autarky (it'll be slippery slope from strategic autonomy to strategic autarky) isn't China the biggest loser?
