Show Notes

What exactly are tariffs, and how do they work? How do they drive up prices? Are tariffs a way to protect the U.S. economy from hostile powers like the Communist Party of China? No, not really. Or a way to protect the supply chains on which U.S. military supremacy depends? No, not that either. In short, tariffs are toxic, and we discuss why that is.
