This week, many people (myself included) were shocked to hear that a speech took place at Davos, featuring a Sorbonne-trained Mormon US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer outlining the history of the American System of Political Economy from 1776 to the present.
Greer’s speech was titled ‘From Hamilton to Today: Trade and U.S. Economic Strategy’ and featured a shockingly candid exposition of the American System’s origins in the wake of the US revolution, innovated by the first US Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton and the growth of Hamilton’s Society for the Promotion of Useful Manufactures.
Greer outlined the fight to revive this system by 2nd generation Hamiltonians led by Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams, and he competently showcased how this system of protective tariffs, national planning, and international cooperation shaped the best bursts of industrial progress across both the USA and many other nations of the world.
Greer even showcased how this system led in the industrial progress enjoyed by Germany (under Friedrich List and von Bismark’s lead), in Russia, Japan (under the Meiji restoration) and even in China (led by the followers of President Sun Yat-sen).
It was all sounding a bit too good to be true.
How could such insightful competence be permitted into a venue as powerful as Davos by a Mormon Sorbonne trade official?
Could this be evidence that patriotic forces have successfully taken control of the reigns of power in the USA after all?
