Show Notes

The U.S. Supreme Court has invalidated President Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to implement tariffs. What does the Court’s ruling mean? And what’s next for tariffs, and for presidential powers more generally?

We explore these questions on this episode of Independent Conversations, featuring Dr. Phillip Magness. Magness holds Independent’s David J. Theroux Chair in Political Economy, and is one of a handful of people who actually got the ball rolling on this case.
