= "the tendency for ungoverned economic integration to produce political disintegration". [1]
Discussion
Benjamin Studebaker:
" Instead of producing a supranational society, ungoverned commerce diminishes sociability. Instead of encouraging technological growth, ungoverned commerce encourages labor-intensive production processes, reducing growth rates."
BS proposes the following solution:
"To receive the benefits of commerce in full, it’s necessary to achieve political union as soon as possible, before commerce destroys the conditions that make commerce possible. Mere internationalism is insufficient. A federal republic must be constructed that goes beyond the level of the national, that is supranational in character. This supranational federal republic (SFR) must be large enough and strong enough to govern flows of money and people. It cannot be subject to the squabbling, rivalrous nation-states. By making it possible, for the first time in human history, to govern transnational flows, the SFR creates new cooperative possibilities, securing for individuals the freedom to act on the basis of human values that ungoverned flows of money and people foreclose."
