Long Description:
Tariffs have become a front-page topic, but much reporting is biased politically in one direction or another. What is the objective, academic truth? This defines tariffs, their historic impact & their effect on the domestic economy, and how tariffs are used in economic statecraft to affect imports into a country & to protect domestic industries. Historically, tariffs have been used aggressively to undercut other states' economies & to force consumers to buy domestic goods, and their effectiveness is mixed with some successes & numerous failures. Examples discussed include the British Empire & its Corn Law, the US Smoot Hawley Act, and post-war free trade & tariff policies. Presented by Dr. Craig Greathouse, Professor of Political Science specializing in the EU, International Relations Theory and Security and Defense Policy, on the National Security Decision Making Game staff.
