>>even the richest and most powerful nation-state - the USA - became in the 1970s very much subordinate to the transnational capitalist corporations. The age of capitalist nation-states dictating their own national economic policy completely died in the 1970s.<<
But that was the plan. An elite of Americans would dominate the world post 1945 and wanted to continue to do so until the end of humanity. Ask yourself why it is the US that dominates investment banking, hedge funds and private equity. Ask yourself why it is American companies that dominate desktop and server computing. Why does the US get to spend well over a trillion dollars it doesn't have on its superpower military, borrowing the money it needs to float it all from Europe, Gulf States, Japan, S. Korea and China? Clearly there is a nation-state superpower agenda your formulation seems to be missing out.
