It seems an odd approach on the author's part to address the symptoms of malaise without discussing its causes. There's now little doubt that globalization in all its manifestations has in the West contributed to a massive redistribution of wealth to the benefit of the already wealthy. The author seems to want the institutions of society, including the state, to stamp out any popular revolt against this process. In and of itself this represents the promotion of autocracy, although I'm sure the globalizers would rather it be seen as benign autocracy.
