On the political economics and the history behind Donald Trump’s tariff war – Politics JOE

In this interview with Oli Dugmore, for Politics JOE, I had a chance to lay out – in around 30 minutes – the political economics and economic history behind Donald Trump’s tariff war. As I said to Oli, those of us who oppose Trump have a duty to understand what his team are up to and the huge precedent of their project in the form of the Nixon Shock of 1971. If we shirk that responsibility, and just portray Trump’s people as mere idiots, we are bound to languish in error and prove highly ineffective in opposing Trump.
