Trump’s oligarchic regime is an extreme version of the imperial and economic vision that has guided presidents of both major parties. But the popularity of Trump’s chauvinist, xenophobic appeal points to a major crisis in the ideological and political-economic regime of the United States and the world for decades.

You can read her article "The Glory Days Are Over" in the new issue of Jacobin and at jacobinmag.com.
