(コメント) アメリカ経済が他の豊かな諸国を顕著に上回る成長を遂げてきた、という理由を考えます。巨大な統一市場、巨大でダイナミックな資本市場、移民流入を含む、柔軟な労働市場、なにより、急速なイノベーションとその普及を支える投資家たちの熱狂。

他方で、中国経済は成長が減速し、それを打開する上で政治が制約となっている。ヨーロッパはどうすればよいのか? 移民を排除し、ドイル経済は停滞しています。小国の模索は厳しい条件に従うしかありません。

******************************

IPEの想像力 11/4/2024

世界各地で、多くの人たちが、アメリカ大統領選挙の速報を観ています。2016年との違いは、トランプ再選がありうると世界が知っていることです。それはショッキングなことですが、もはや意外ではない。アメリカは、そして世界も、大きくトランプ化したと思います。

EUの指導者たちは頭を抱えているのに、日本の政治家は自民党敗北のショックを吸収するための迷走を続けています。日本も、朝鮮半島や台湾と同じく、米中対立のはざまにあり、中国市場と日米安全保障条約に依存したまま大きなストレスを受ければ、進路を見失います。ウクライナと同じく、ロシアの隣国です。

****

トランプ優位のニュースが流れています。

トランプが勝っても、民主主義が敗北したとは思いません。しかし、彼が選挙結果を攻撃し続けたように、選挙という制度そのものが有効な条件を見直すべきだと思います。

たとえばロシアは、ヨーロッパ諸国の選挙に激しい情報操作を行っている、とThe Economistの記事は伝えています。

移民・難民の国際システムを欠いたままでは、豊かな福祉国家の条件を失うおそれがあり、高齢化・少子化社会の経済停滞を抜け出すことが難しくなります。

大統領制度の下では、あまりにも多く、制度にかかる負担が再選を目指す大統領に向けられ、信任投票になります。ハリスは現実に対峙する勇気を欠き、見通しが甘かったと思います。

この先、トランプの予測不能な発言と逸脱、独裁的傾向が、アメリカの政治システムをどこまで変えるのか? 共和党、最高裁判所、さらに、連邦準備制度や警察・司法システム、軍隊にまで、トランプ化がおよぶのか?

民主主義諸国は改革を進めるより、ポピュリストの成功が多くの模倣者を生み、政治の劇場化、エンターテインメント化の中で、超富裕層の政治支配と分断政治の下り坂を転がり落ちていくかもしれません。

****

トランプ化するアメリカと世界で、The Economistが示すような高成長は持続可能なのでしょうか? それは社会のだれにとって望ましいのか?

株式市場による資金調達。技術革新の波及を促す社会システム。ドル支配と債務への依存。覇権国家アメリカの過剰拡大と、多国間核管理型のAI覇権戦争。

いずれの小国も地域統合を真剣に準備すべきでしょう。国境を超える安全保障と成長モデルの再編成に、自国を位置づけます。それは、貿易と投資のパターンを決め、通貨の安定性と柔軟な調整、マクロ経済管理の自律性を実現できるルールを見出す。そのために、地域で協力する道を進むことではないでしょうか。・・・講義でお話したように。
