In "America and the Future of Globalism: Challenges and Opportunities," Stanford Silverman examines the intricate dynamics of globalism and its implications for the United States. The article highlights both the threats and opportunities presented by the interconnected global landscape.
Globalism, defined by the integration and interdependence of economies, societies, and cultures, has transformed the world significantly. However, this interconnectedness brings challenges such as cybersecurity threats, economic instability, and cultural cohesion issues. For the U.S., navigating these challenges while capitalizing on globalism's opportunities is crucial.
Global bodies like the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations can challenge national sovereignty. For example, the WTO's ruling against U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods highlights the tension between global governance and national autonomy. Similarly, the UN's Global Compact for Migration raised concerns about compromising U.S. immigration policies.
Offshoring and trade imbalances have led to economic uncertainties. The U.S. trade deficit reached a record $948.1 billion in 2022, and offshoring has resulted in significant job losses. These factors contribute to wage inequality and job insecurity, particularly for low-skilled workers.
Cybersecurity threats are escalating, with state-sponsored attacks and incidents like the SolarWinds breach exposing vulnerabilities. The FBI reported unprecedented levels of cybercrime in 2022, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect national security and critical infrastructure.
Increased global interactions can strain cultural cohesion and national identity. Studies indicate that diversity can reduce social cohesion and civic participation. Events like Brexit and the 2020 U.S. Presidential election reflect a backlash against globalism, underscoring the need for a balanced national narrative.
Regulatory Reforms: Implementing stringent regulations like the EU's GDPR to enhance cybersecurity.
Investing in Innovation: Focusing on technology, clean energy, and e-commerce to create jobs and reduce economic dependence.
Civic Engagement and Education: Promoting civic education to foster national identity and global citizenship.
Opportunities arise in sectors addressing globalism's challenges. Companies like CrowdStrike (cybersecurity), NextEra Energy (renewable energy), and Amazon (e-commerce) exemplify promising investment prospects.
While globalism presents significant challenges, strategic regulatory reforms, investments in innovation, and enhanced civic education offer solutions. The Financial Policy Council (FPC) plays a crucial role in advocating for policies to navigate these complexities, fostering a prosperous future for America in the global landscape.

In the predawn hours of an otherwise ordinary Tuesday, a city on the Eastern seaboard of the United States woke to a nightmare. Its transportation system was paralyzed, traffic lights blinked out of sync, and the emergency services’ communication network echoed with an ominous silence. The culprit? A meticulously planned cyberattack, originating thousands of miles away, a chilling illustration of the dangerous frontiers of our interconnected world. This real-world episode symbolizes the multi-faceted challenges posed by the increasing sway of globalism and underscores the need for robust strategies to mitigate them.
As we stride further into the 21st century, globalism—the integration and interdependence of economies, societies, and cultures—continues to transform the world in profound ways. Yet, as our world grows more connected, new, and complex challenges are fast emerging on the horizon, ones that call for comprehensive solutions and unprecedented global cooperation.
For the United States, a country that has long been a beacon of the free market and a hub of technological innovation, these challenges also represent significant opportunities. By weaving a complex tapestry of economic, political, and societal threads, globalism has created an intricate, vibrant, but delicate system. In 2020, the global GDP stood at approximately $104 trillion(1), a figure that has nearly doubled in the last two decades, reflecting the rapid acceleration of globalism. However, these impressive numbers shadow the vulnerabilities and inequalities engendered by this same globalism.
As the world shrinks before our digital eyes, the US finds itself in a unique position. Not only can it lead in mitigating the potential pitfalls of an increasingly interconnected world, but it can also capitalize on the myriad opportunities globalism has unlocked. It is imperative to navigate this global transformation prudently and strategically, for the stakes have never been higher. With cybersecurity threats escalating, traditional industries reshaping, and new economic powerhouses emerging, the path forward is fraught with both peril and promise.(2)
In this blog, we aim to delve into the complexities of this new global landscape, examining the challenges it presents for America and the potential opportunities it offers. In our global village, the butterfly effect underscores our interconnection – minor actions can have major, global impacts. Examples abound in climate change, economic policy, and social media dynamics. In this context, America’s global approach should be strategic, leveraging the global system for national interests, and sensitive to worldwide implications. American leadership, like the butterfly’s wings, can instigate significant global change. Recognizing and responsibly managing this power is vital for steering globalism towards a prosperous, equitable future for all. Welcome to the age of globalism, where every action, no matter how small, is global in its consequence.
As the tides of globalism rise, national sovereignty— the authority of a state to govern itself—faces unprecedented challenges. One such challenge is the increasing influence of international bodies like the World Trade Organization (WTO).(3) For instance, in the US-China trade war, the US imposed tariffs on Chinese goods as part of its broader strategy to protect American industries. However, the WTO ruled against the US in 2020, declaring its tariffs a breach of global trading rules. Such instances highlight the growing tension between global governance and national sovereignty.(4)
This friction is not confined to trade issues. The UN resolution on Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration, passed in 2018,(5) also stirred controversy. Critics argue that the compact could compromise US sovereignty over immigration policy. Academic papers such as “Global Governance and US Sovereignty” by Daniel Drezner(6) delve into this complex interplay, highlighting the delicate balance between maintaining global standards and preserving national autonomy.
Globalism has also ushered in an era of economic uncertainty, particularly due to offshoring and trade imbalances. The U.S. trade deficit for all of 2022 rose 12.2% to $948.1 billion(7), the widest gap on record, as the U.S. continued to depend heavily on imports from other countries to meet domestic demand and is at the sharp end of this sword. The latest data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests that offshoring alone has led to the loss of approximately 3.4 million manufacturing jobs between 2001 and 2016(8) contributing to wage inequality and job insecurity, particularly for low-skilled workers, leading to greater economic disparity.
As the recent surge in cyberattacks illustrates, the growing interconnection also brings serious security vulnerabilities. According to a ForeignPolicy.com research brief(9) state-sponsored cyberattacks against the US have increased exponentially over the last few years. In one case, suspected Russian hackers breached several US federal agencies in the SolarWinds(10) cyberattack, illustrating the magnitude and severity of this threat.
The FBI’s latest Internet Crime Report(11) from 2022 brings into sharp focus the escalating severity of cybercrime. With the reported incidents and related losses hitting unprecedented levels, it’s clear that cyber criminals are aggressively pursuing their nefarious activities. They’re not only targeting American networks and taking our valuable data and money hostage through ransomware attacks but also executing extensive fraud schemes. The implications are even more alarming. These cyber threats carry the capacity to wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure,(12) compromise our national security(13), and as witnessed during the interference in the 2016(14) and 2020(15) US elections, they can even destabilize our democratic processes.
Societal challenges are no less daunting. With the free flow of people, ideas, and cultures that globalism brings, cultural cohesion and national identity are increasingly under stress. A sociological study(16) by Robert D. Putnam titled “E Pluribus Unum: Diversity and Community in the Twenty-First Century” suggests that increased diversity can, paradoxically, reduce social cohesion and civic participation, at least in the short term.
Additionally, trends such as the widespread nationalist sentiments expressed during the 2016 Brexit vote and the 2020 American Presidential elections indicate a backlash against globalism. These events underscore the growing importance of a national narrative that embraces both the challenges and opportunities of our interconnected world. As America treads the path of globalism, it will need to carefully navigate these choppy waters, fostering a sense of shared identity while embracing the richness of its diverse society.
The challenges brought forth by globalism, while daunting, are not insurmountable. Implementing targeted regulatory reforms, investing in innovation, and promoting civic engagement and education present viable solutions.
In the face of rising cybersecurity threats, the need for stringent regulations cannot be overstated. The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),(17) implemented in 2018, sets an excellent precedent. By stipulating the toughest privacy and security law in the world, these stringent data protection laws and hefty penalties for data breaches implemented by the EU’s GDPR has significantly bolstered cybersecurity in the region. The US could consider similar reforms to enhance its cybersecurity infrastructure and reduce vulnerabilities.
Economic diversification, driven by investments in innovative silo sectors like technology, clean energy, and e-commerce, potentially offers a robust counter to offshoring and trade imbalances. According to a report(18) by the International Energy Agency, renewable energy jobs are predicted to more than triple to 25 million new green energy jobs by 2030. Similarly, an article by Alexander Kritikos found that entrepreneurial innovation positively influences economic growth, creating job opportunities and driving economic stability.(19)
In the e-commerce sector, a report by eMarketer predicts that e-commerce sales will reach $6.3 trillion by 2024,(20) a clear testament to the sector’s growth potential. Investing in these sectors can provide a boost to domestic employment while reducing economic dependence on traditional manufacturing.
Civic education plays a critical role in fostering national identity and global citizenship. According to research published in the American Educational Research Journal, well-implemented civic education programs can significantly enhance civic knowledge and engagement. By teaching critical thinking, informed debate, and democratic participation, we can help citizens better navigate the complexities of globalism.
For investors, these challenges and solutions present significant opportunities. Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) is a prime example. Their innovative cloud-native technology has seen them become leaders in endpoint security, threat intelligence, and incident response. With a reported revenue growth of 66% in 2022 compared to 2021, CrowdStrike illustrates the immense growth potential in this sector.
In the renewable energy sector, companies like NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) are leading the charge. As the world’s largest producer of wind and solar energy, NextEra has consistently shown robust growth. Industry reports suggest that the renewable energy sector is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2021 to 2030, offering promising returns for investors.(21)
Lastly, e-commerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) continues to show remarkable resilience and growth. Despite the economic turmoil Amazon’s revenue for 2022 was $502.19B with a 9.66% increase from 2021.
In summary, while globalism presents the United States with multifaceted challenges, strategic regulatory reforms, investments in innovation, and civic education can offer potent solutions. For discerning investors, these solutions present promising opportunities, a testament to the notion that every challenge comes with an equal measure of opportunity.
The Financial Policy Council (FPC) is an instrumental force in shaping financial policy, driving dialogue, and sparking necessary change. The FPC’s commitment to education, research, and policy advocacy positions it uniquely in the broader discourse on globalism.
Throughout the years, the FPC has taken an active role in numerous facets of globalization. They have orchestrated events, authored policy blogs, and championed the cause of free market capitalism. Furthermore, they have underscored the significance of educating consumers about the regulatory challenges and suggested strategies associated with globalization.
Moreover, the FPC does not just critique and propose; it drives change. Through its advocacy efforts, the FPC has pushed for regulatory reforms, greater financial inclusion, and more robust cybersecurity measures. These efforts have culminated in significant policy shifts, reflecting the FPC’s efficacy and influence.
In conclusion, the role of the Financial Policy Council extends beyond simple policy advocacy. It is a catalyst for change, fostering dialogue, influencing policymaking, and steering the U.S. towards a future where the challenges of globalism are effectively addressed.
As we navigate the complex terrain of globalism, certain startling insights help us grasp the gravity of the situation and the immense opportunities that lie ahead. Here are some of the most surprising data points and quotes that underline the importance of these issues:
This blog post explores the intricacies of globalism, focusing on the significant challenges it poses to the U.S. and the strategies to address them, alongside some investment opportunities.
We have outlined the threats to U.S. sovereignty due to the rising influence of international bodies like the WTO and UN. We also examined the impact of global trends such as offshoring and trade imbalances on the U.S. economy and job market. The increasing cyber threats, substantiated by reports from FireEye and the FBI, emphasize the need for strong cybersecurity measures. We explored how globalism could affect cultural cohesion and national identity, supported by various sociological studies.
Addressing these challenges, we advocated for regulatory reforms with a focus on cybersecurity, referring to effective models from other countries. We highlighted the importance of investment in sectors like technology, clean energy, and e-commerce as a countermeasure to globalism’s challenges. We also emphasized the critical role of civic education in fostering national identity and global citizenship.
In terms of investment opportunities, we detailed the prospects of technology companies in the cybersecurity domain, with CrowdStrike as a prime example. The potential of renewable energy companies, illustrated through NextEra Energy, was also discussed.
The challenges of globalism and the future of America are not merely topics for intellectual debate, they are vital issues that affect every American citizen, directly or indirectly. As we navigate the shifting sands of the global economy, your action is not just valuable—it’s indispensable.
If you’re an investor, consider this: The realm of cybersecurity, renewable energy, and e-commerce represent not just the future, but also lucrative avenues for investment. Companies like CrowdStrike, NextEra Energy, and Amazon are not only advancing in their respective fields, but they are also capitalizing on the changes that globalism brings. This isn’t just a chance to increase your wealth—it’s an opportunity to participate in shaping our future.
Regulatory reforms can only occur when there is significant pressure from us, the citizens. If we want stricter cybersecurity laws, then we need to use our voices. Writing to local representatives, raising awareness, and demanding change, can ensure the path to a future where our national sovereignty is unharmed.
The Financial Policy Council (FPC) plays a critical role in shaping policies that affect us all. Whether you’re a financial wizard or an interested citizen, your engagement with the FPC can help foster dialogue, drive changes, and create a prosperous future. Attend events, read our reports, contribute to our powerful blog position papers—every action counts.
The future is not a distant reality—it’s the sum of actions taken in the present. Your engagement, your voice, your investments—they all contribute to the America we wish to see in the future.
Remember, every big change starts small, and every small step can lead to substantial progress. So, act now—because America’s future in the global economy depends on it.
As we stand on the brink of a new era in the global economy, the opportunities awaiting us are as unprecedented as the challenges we face. Yet, in the complex tapestry of globalism, the threads of adversity and prosperity are often intertwined where instability always equals opportunity for the astute investor.
The rewards for those who successfully navigate the globalism landscape are immense. By adapting to this rapidly changing environment, by understanding the inherent challenges, and by embracing the opportunities that present themselves, we can shape a future that not only sustains our national interests but also fosters global growth.
But these rewards are not limited to the economic sphere. They extend to a stronger, more resilient society, a more vibrant and inclusive culture, and a future where America continues to be a beacon of innovation, opportunity, and democratic values in an interconnected world.
Yet, these potential rewards underscore the urgency of action. Globalism isn’t a distant tide that’s yet to reach our shores—it’s already here. Its influence can be seen in the technology we use, the energy powering our homes, the products we buy, and even in the cultural exchanges that enrich our society. It’s no longer a matter of ‘if’ globalism will shape our future but ‘how’ it will—and the answer to that lies in our hands.
The future is not a predestined path but a road we build as we move forward. And every reader, every American citizen, every committed patriot has a role to play in laying the bricks of this road. Whether you’re an investor, a policy influencer, an engaged citizen, or a student, your actions—your decisions—will influence the trajectory of America’s journey in this era of globalism.
Let’s remember that America’s strength lies not just in its economic power or technological prowess, but in its people—in their resilience, their innovation, and their belief in a brighter future. So, as we step into the future, let’s do so with the conviction that we can, and we will, navigate the landscape of globalism, turning challenges into opportunities, and ensuring that America continues to thrive on the global stage.
After all, the future is not just something we experience—it’s something we create. And the time to start creating that future is now.
