We thought that prosperity ran on open borders, frictionless trade, and global supply chains. Trump's tariffs challenged that orthodoxy. Join acclaimed author, former President of PEN International, and Trump critic, John Ralston Saul, as he argues that faith in globalism is, in fact, a dangerous illusion. Overreliance on borderless institutions has hollowed out local economies, weakened democratic accountability, and fractured civic trust. Saul contends that genuine freedom and resilient citizenship demand we reclaim national agency, rebuild community self-reliance, and rethink the orthodoxy of globalisation.
