Globalism is responsible because of the way it is structured, not because it is global necessarily. It has been used a a mechanism to make a small fraction very wealthy, without oversight.

I suppose structuring has some effect. But ultimately, you need countries to export products in order to import capital. I think you live in Finland. Finland has great industries in engineering-related fields like machinery, equipment, electronics, and refining materials. Much of this has no doubt been impacted by losing Russia as a market to sell products and to import petroleum.
With a higher cost of energy and reduced exports, there is less capital flowing in than flowing out. Yes, you are paying more for goods and also exporting less to afford paying higher wages. But I don't see how structuring would help. Structuring assumes you have control. But how do you control the effects of the Ukrainian war with Russia?
Without monetary growth from trade, rather than just printing money, there is less capital for building that generational wealth you suggest. Individually, we can print money by making things people want to buy. And in the aggregate, we need to manufacture things to export. You're correct in your skepticism of government and industry who focus on aggregate numbers rather than individuals.
Your writing on Hive is one way in which you are creating something of value, i.e. printing money. And I think we don't educate people enough to realize that they can make things outside of a job to make their own money. We seem to only know how to make things for others to sell at a markup.
