Trump’s new tariff regime is throwing the national and global economy into a tailspin. His actions and the resulting reactions in the top circles of ruling class demonstrate that Marx and Engels’ observation, “The executive of the modern state is nothing but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie” requires some qualification and elaboration.
