Heilperin’s vision of order was multilateral but also unilateral: it brooked no deviations from the strictures of ­free trade. It was not only that he brushed away the complaint of infringement on sovereignty. Consistent with the Geneva School position of militant globalism developed since the 1930s, diminishing sovereignty was the exact point. He wrote directly that it was necessary to “subordinate” national objectives to international order. He echoed the federalist vision of Mises, Robbins, and Hayek when he argued that “the importance of national bound­aries . . . ​must be radically and drastically reduced.” They must become “mere administrative demarcation lines,” and national governments must “have only limited powers over their populations.” In its strong form, this would require what he called “geopolitics in reverse gear,” reengineering national bound­aries to actively diminish their capacity for self-­sufficiency.
