Here is quite a good article on why the resistance to what the alt-right loonies like Trump call "globalization" is just a reactionary phase we are going through as we face today's breakdown of the nation state as we know it, and that the cure for the domination of the global financial elite, is more global civic regulation.

the article's conclusion: On the eve of its centenary, our nation-state system is already in a crisis from which it does not currently possess the capacity to extricate itself. It is time to think how that capacity might be built. We do not yet know what it will look like. But we have learned a lot from the economic and technological phases of globalisation, and we now possess the basic concepts for the next phase: building the politics of our integrated world system. We are confronted, of course, by an enterprise of political imagination as significant as that which produced the great visions of the 18th century – and, with them, the French and American Republics. But we are now in a position to begin.
