"The New Decentralism"

Justin Raimondo says "that bigness – in the world of nation-states, as well as finance – is out, and smallness is in" — These United States: Too Big to Fail? He says "the world’s biggest financial combines, along with the giant producers like GM, are in trouble [because] like the dinosaurs, their bigness – once an advantage – evolved into a fatal gigantism."

Also, he argues, "the reality is that big countries – and bigness, per se – are on the wane" and that "what happened to the old Soviet Union is not such an implausible scenario for us."
