On this special pop-up episode, Charles talks to Scott Lincicome about Donald Trump’s massive unilateral tariff hike. What is a tariff? What are tariffs for? Why aren’t they good? Why did they once work but don’t now? Don’t we need them to fight against our rivals, who are taking advantage of us? Other countries do it—why, if they are bad? What about our “hollowed out manufacturing base”? What about China?
