The Dismal Science

US Election Special: The Return of Tariff Man


Listen Later

Join Mark and Raph to unpack the potential economic implications of the US election result.

We examine some of the key economic policy pledges that President Elect President Donald Trump made during the campaign, from tariffs to taxes, and discuss the possible ramifications for interest rates, inflation, growth, and other economic variables.

President Trump's proposals could send US average tariff rates to their highest level since the 1934 Great Depression. What would this mean for inflation, the US dollar, and the global economy?

We also explore the potential impact of tax cuts and deregulation on growth and profits, as well as the implications for the Federal Reserve and US debt and deficits.

And is this a sign of a broader global shift away from neoliberalism?

Tune in to find out.
