Trump's Tariffs Explained By Economist and Political Advisor Oren Cass
Oren Cass is one of America’s preeminent critics of international Free trade, and in favour of tariffs.
Cass, an economist and political advisor joined Winston at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London to discuss the shift in America’s trade policies under Trump, emphasizing the benefits of tariffs for American workers.
He argues that free trade, particularly with China, has led to job loss and economic decline in the U.S. Cass highlights the historical context of protectionism and the failure of free trade to deliver on its promises, particularly in terms of job creation and economic growth. Oren and Winston explore the broader social and cultural impacts, such as the opioid epidemic, linked to deindustrialization.
