International trade is changing \u2014 and not for natural reasons. The so-called \u201cdeglobalization\u201d<\/strong> has been touted by governments, analysts and even investors as an \u201cinevitable path\u201d, a logical response to recent crises. But there is something deeper going on. We are witnessing not just a decline in global trade \u2013 but a advance of the State over voluntary exchanges.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right name for this is not deglobalization. It is renationalization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globalization as a spontaneous order<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

True globalization was not a government policy. It emerged from the natural logic of the market: specialization, division of labor, economies of scale, and access to new consumers. Throughout the 20th century, the expansion of trade was the result of spontaneous order\u2014not central planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he taught well Friedrich Hayek<\/strong>, \u201cthe most efficient social processes are not those that are constructed, but those that emerge from freedom.\u201d The global market was exactly that: an evolution, not an engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect excuse: crisis, pandemic and security<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, States have taken advantage of fear and uncertainty to justify what they have always wanted: power over the flow of goods, capital and information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discourse of \u201cnational security,\u201d \u201cfood sovereignty,\u201d \u201cproductive resilience\u201d \u2014 all of this sounds nice, but it hides a simple reality: governments want to choose who can sell what, to whom, and under what conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a new movement. It is an old interventionist instinct dressed in modern clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who loses from this? Everyone. But especially the poorest.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The renationalization of commerce does not just make products more expensive \u2014 it weakens competition, destroys innovation and creates markets protected by privileges<\/strong>. The consumer loses. The entrepreneur loses. The economy becomes less dynamic, more cartelized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as always warned Frederic Bastiat<\/strong>, \u201cthe difference between a bad economist and a good economist is that the former focuses on what is seen; the latter also considers what is not seen.\u201d
What you don't see in today's trade barriers are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The businesses that won't come up<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The jobs that will not be created<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Prices that will not fall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Deglobalization or institutional regression?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    What we are living is the regression to 20th century industrial policy<\/strong>, now disguised as \u201csovereign reindustrialization.\u201d It is the return of the State as a central actor in trade \u2014 as definer, collector and direct beneficiary of exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is no coincidence that the same people who criticized \u201cglobal capitalism\u201d now celebrate tariffs, subsidies and sanctions. It is the old dirigisme coming back in a new form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Deglobalization, when imposed from the top down, is not the answer to crises \u2014 is the cause of the next one.<\/strong>
    If we want to protect economic freedom, we need to defend trade as it has always been: a relationship between free individuals, not between national bureaucracies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
