Trump's Trade Wars: Economic, Political, and Philosophical Perspectives

What are the actual political and economic effects of Trump's "tough trade" policies? What can we learn about trade wars from Adam Smith's 18th century critique of English mercantilism? This video presents a panel discussion on Trump's international trade policies, featuring Jason Campbell (Economics), David Shirk (Political Science), and Matt Zwolinski (Philosophy). Sponsored by USD's Center for Ethics, Economics, and Public Policy, and filmed at the University of San Diego on September 26, 2018.
