Restore LaRouche’s Physical-Economic Method—Create A New System

Much has been made of Trump’s newly announced tariffs targeting nations to solve trade irregularities. On April 9th, the same day they took effect, Trump suddenly reversed his policy and announced a 90-day pause on those tariffs “for most nations” with the exception of China, where the U.S. has now brazenly adopted a 125% tariff. Figures in the Trump Administration, such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro, have misadvised Trump in this dangerous adventure while making claims that U.S. manufacturing will be revived.

What these people do not understand is what’s critical for every American citizen to wrap their heads around right now, namely, Lyndon LaRouche’s discoveries in the field of physical economy, which are the ideas which actually built the United States into an industrial power.

As LaRouche forecasted on July 25, 2007, in an international webcast just before the 2008 financial collapse, the world monetary system is now in the process of disintegrating, and can no longer continue to exist under any circumstances, no matter how much liquidity is pumped into the system. LaRouche said, “Only a fundamental and sudden change in the world monetary financial system will prevent a general, immediate chain-reaction type of collapse.”

Lyndon LaRouche’s wife, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, described in a CGTN article the bigger factors in action than simply playing with numbers and trade deficits as the Trump Administration has so far done. “The only thing which will remedy the economic crisis in the U.S., and elsewhere,” Zepp-LaRouche says, “is a return to sound physical economy principles: investment in scientific and technological progress, international space cooperation and innovation in general. That means the education systems of the U.S. and European nations have to be reorganized to serve this orientation, and incentives have to be given to train a highly skilled labor force for this purpose.”

“The alternative is a cooperative approach, where real development perspectives for Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe are put on the agenda for joint ventures and cooperative investments in infrastructure, industry, agriculture, science, health and education systems, financed through productive credits.”

Instead of trying to take more from a shrinking pie, the U.S. would bode well to adopt Lyndon LaRouche’s policies for long-term development of the Global South and other countries based on the methods of physical economy. The LaRouche Oasis Plan is such a policy, which if adopted by the nations of Southwest Asia in collaboration with the U.S., China, and other great powers, would transform deserts into lush gardens, and reorient the region from an endless path of war to peaceful cooperation.

Much more on the Oasis Plan and other projects which would reorient the U.S. economy will be taken up by EIR economics editor Marcia-Merry Baker at 9pm EST, tonight.
