Episode 8: Tariffs (Everything Old is New Again) - with special guest


Listen Later

What do tariffs really mean for global trade, shipping, and your wallet?
In this episode, I sit down with a former OECD economist to unpack the true impact of tariffs โ€” far beyond the political headlines.

We cover:
๐Ÿ”น Why tariffs act more like a hidden tax on consumers in the long run
๐Ÿ”น How governments use tariffs as bargaining chips in trade wars
๐Ÿ”น The ripple effects on shipping, logistics, and global supply chains
๐Ÿ”น Lessons from history โ€” when tariffs backfired and reshaped economies


If youโ€™ve ever wondered why your goods cost more, why supply chains get disrupted, or how trade policy actually works in practice, this conversation will give you the insider perspective.
