Odd Lots · Adam Posen on a Surreal Jackson Hole in a Post-American World · 26 Aug 2025 podcast

Trump people don't seem to genuinely care about that is because being totally concentrated in the US in one spot isn't any good either, 'cause then you're subject still to natural disasters, to terrorism, to political problems, to corruption.

You can care about this and say we gotta make sure it's diversified.

Third thing that's going on is there's a perception fed by the so called China shock literature that US manufacturing was devastated and this led to particular small cities and towns in the US being devastated.

There's a lot of exaggerations and problems with this literature and it doesn't square well with the reality, including the reality of most of the places that are cited as having had problems, had problems in the seventies.

And that there's plenty of places like Pittsburgh and Rowling, North Carolina that got back.

But anyway, there's that sense.

And I think you've had on my colleague Robert Lawrence from Peterson and Harvard, who talks about the limits of a manufacturing strategy.

And then finally, and this is my own interpretation, people's

Get mad at me when I say this.

I think there's a lot of displaced anger.

I think there are people who were relatively privileged.

They weren't necessarily rich, but relatively privileged in older society, in the the way the US society used to be, that have been disrupted and offended by change and by

Forces towards equality.

I also think there's a bunch of people who are understandably very angry and disappointed with elites after the two thousand eight financial crisis, after COVID being perceptions of mishandling, after the Iraq Afghanistan invasions and occupations for twenty years that didn't produce anything.

So there's a lot of anger that's discredited.

That the of discredited elites who are associated with being globalists, right?

But I don't think that anger is well placed.

And and I'm not trying to be patronizing.

I mean, we've seen this in the US history and other history, you know, people will stir up anger against immigrants or stir up anger against Native Americans or people of color or refugees.

Or com mythical communists in the government in the 50s because they're angry about something else or they're scared of something else, but it gets blamed on that.
