History is on my side of this argument. Do you have a reasoned argument to over come the result of a trade war leading a disruption in the supply chain of walmart that leads to higher prices of all consumer goods and lower selection of products? I'd like to hear it. I would also be interested to hear how you think such a disruption would not hurt the very demographic that was hurt the most by globalization and clearly
Bought into the scare tactics deployed by Trump. I would also love to hear how you think a trade war and tariffs would actually bring back a steel mill in Youngstown Ohio, or textile mills in Statesville North Carolina. I would also remind everyone, that globalization and free-trade has been primarily a conservative, Republican ideology that the Democrats excepted overtime.
I am not trying to scare anyone, I'm simply pointing out several hundred years of economic theory and evidence that point to capitalism and free trade yielding real benefits for a consumer oriented economy.
