Can Trump and Milei influence the global system?
Back to basic is a common phrase in business. The last decades a bunch of world organizations has been formed, with a huge bureaucratic system of joint governments as a result.
UN, WHO, IMF, WTO, UNICEF and the WORLD BANK, are some examples.
Thousands of meetings and conferences have been held and every time the bureaucracy is growing. Huge international monetary funds have been created, to be delivered to underdeveloped countries, with in many cases military-controlled governments. Unfortunately, this has created a bad circle that ought to be stopped and turned into a good circle.
However, the influence of individual political figures like Donald Trump and Javier Milei on the global system cannot be underestimated. Trump, with his ‘America First’ policy, disrupted traditional alliances and challenged the efficacy of international organizations by withdrawing the United States from key agreements and imposing tariffs on trade partners. His administration’s approach often questioned the value of multilateralism, advocating for a more nationalistic and protectionist stance.
On the other hand, Milei, an Argentine libertarian economist and politician, criticizes the entrenched bureaucracy and advocates for smaller government, reduced public spending, and greater economic freedom. His radical ideas and charismatic personality have showed that the economy in Argentine has strengthen radically by the current political establishment.
Combined, such leaders question the status quo, potentially leading to significant shifts in how international cooperation and governance are perceived and implemented. The tension between globalism and nationalism, centralization and decentralization, continues to shape the evolving political landscape.
Will, Trump and Milei influence the global system?
The answer is yes! For the simple reason that other world leaders must oversee their own countries’ interest. This will create new ideas, in the same way as in company thinking methods.
The world was never made for a common government, it is against the laws of nature. A clear proof of this is how wild animals live differently around the globe. You can’t gather them all together in one enclosure.
Basics should lead, results will follow.
When a company struggles, leadership changes or closure are normal responses; subsidies are not the answer. This principle applies to countries as well. Competitiveness relies on equality, and subsidies undermine it. Quality must also be prioritized over low-cost manufacturing for market share.
These reasons support my belief that global change is necessary, a view reinforced by the actions of Donald Trump and Javier Milei in early 2025.
