As I have been saying, liberalism is engaged in a historical dialectic with traditionalism. Here is another instance of it. This is a big deal in India day to day, but the West seldom hears about it, since it is a "family fight."This is important since the historical dialectic is foundational to the world system, and the world system is now in transition, e.g., from liberal-traditional to ?, from analog to digital, from unipolar to multipolar, from Western-centric to global-centric, from predominantly neoliberal to ?, etc.The rate of flux is accelerating, and this is increasing uncertainty, which is unsettling. One result in increasing conflict.BTW, Kenneth Boulding, a forerunner of MMT, transitioned from economics to systems theory and world systems, and focused on conflict and conflict

BTW, Kenneth Boulding, a forerunner of MMT, transitioned from economics to systems theory and world systems, and focused on conflict and conflict resolution. His work is worth revisiting. MMT economists Randy Wray and Mathew Forstater have written about him. His work is prescient. John Kenneth Galbraith also deserves mention in this regard as an economist. These were "big picture" thinkers. Warren Mosler and MMT economists often speak of "public purpose." That's lifted from JKG's Economics and the Public Purpose (1976). Galbraith was in a position to do something about it too. And they were not game theorists.
