If we’re going to fight a trade war, we might as well win

President Trump’s frequent tariff announcements have put global trade in a new, precarious position. Chad P. Bown is Reginald Jones Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and host of the Trade Talks podcast. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how tariffs push up prices, what lessons from history can teach us about this moment, and how countries should adapt to this rapidly changing landscape. His book, written with co-author Soumaya Keynes, is “How to Win a Trade War: An Optimistic Guide to an Anxious Global Economy.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
