Those defending the nation-state against global finance and neoliberalism are smoking something? Well, yes, they are not talking mainstream. They are the new decentralists. I agree with Mody: a smaller banking sector, a lower pound, and a more reasonable housing market are all pluses for the British local economy and the people who live in it, people who are being crushed by the globe-trotters. Nations, regions, municipalities, need to rise up. They are newly learning they have real power, and need lots of discourse on how best to use it.
