Summary

For all of the head scratching by Trump supporters over his literal, real-life, actual love of tariffs, it’s worth noting that for everyone who thought he’d never be crazy enough to go through with them, there were those who knew the whole time that this outcome was at best likely - and worst inevitable. One of those sounding the alarm was Rick Wilson. In this rebroadcast episode from the lead up to the election, Rick sat down with Edward Goldberg, an adjunct professor at NYU’s Center for Global Affairs and expert on political economy and trade. Together, they predict the dangers of Donald Trump's proposed tariffs and the broader risks of economic isolationism - the risks we’re now facing. Learn more about your ad choices.

He's an adjunct professor at NYU's Center for Global Affairs, knows a lot about political economy, about trade, and about the things that make America safe and prosperous in the world, and why the risks of some of the things that Donald Trump is proposing are the exact opposite of making America safe and prosperous in the world.
