Against Tariffs

We continue our conversation around tariffs, exploring why some people argue against imposing them on imported goods. 

We look at some historical examples of how tariffs can have negative impacts on working families as well as domestic and global economies. We look at the Smoot Hawley Tariff and its effect on the trade wars of the 1930's as well as some examples of how the global economy relies on international trade.
