Anton Strezhnev @astrezh.bsky.social · 06/10/2026My view is that 2016 was an attempt to rediscover embedded liberalism to stave off the worst and 2024 was the realization that it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. 120
Ben Heath @jbentonheath.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think I agree with that. So, on that score, is "rediscovering embedded liberalism" trying to do for US trade politics what "popularism" was trying to do for US politics writ large? 100
Anton Strezhnev @astrezh.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah - though less “popularism” and more “deliverism” - I think the response to Trump I took the “left behind” thesis seriously. Less so after Trump II. 110
