This week I tackle the economics of an issue that is in the news and in the minds of most people right now; trade wars. If you're looking for a political rant either in favor or against trade wars, sorry, but you'll have to look elsewhere. I'm sticking to the thesis statement of this podcast and focusing just on the economics of trade wars. I hit on some of the underlying theory behind free trade versus fair trade, and delve into the history of trade wars in the US.
