Listen "The Trade Trap: How Tariffs and Offshoring Shape Elections "
Episode Synopsis
The imitable Zephyr Teachout wrote a fantastic piece that everyone seems to be reading about why tariffs and the trade issue play such an outsized role in elections and how Trump has set a tariff trap to try to ensnare the Democrats. In our latest episode of the Rethinking Trade podcast, Lori Wallach sits down with the renowned Fordham law professor. The discussion is especially interesting because Zephyr ran for Congress in a swing district in 2016 and saw her lead — along with Hillary Clinton's — disappear as Trump realized the power of the trade attack. Even if you don’t have time to read the piece (and you should, and we have it on our website) this short, but powerful conversation is fascinating.
