Trump Is Right About Unfair Trade, but Tariffs Aren’t the Right Fix

1 week ago | city-journal.org | Allison Schrager

With most of President Donald Trump’s policies—even the seemingly more outlandish ones—there’s often an important underlying truth. On tariffs, a long-standing priority of his, he raises valid concerns. American exporters frequently face disadvantages: other countries impose tariff and non-tariff barriers, while the U.S. has traditionally kept its markets more open.
Neoliberalism is looking pretty good right now

1 week ago | taipeitimes.com | Allison Schrager

By Allison Schrager / Bloomberg Opinion While much of the world recoils at turmoil in the markets, the upending of the global economy and overwhelming uncertainty, I am feeling an odd sense of calm. Why? Because I am a proud neoliberal, and after US President Donald Trump’s tariffs destroy what is left of the post-neoliberal world order, neoliberalism itself would be due for a comeback. There is no perfect policy. Everything has trade-offs and creates winners and losers.
Do You Miss Neoliberalism Yet?

After US tariffs destroy what is left of the world economic order, policy that values free markets and free trade will be due for a comeback. While much of the world recoils at the turmoil in markets, the upending of the global economy and the overwhelming uncertainty, I am feeling an odd sense of calm. Why? Because I am a proud neoliberal, and after President Donald Trump’s tariffs destroy what is left of the post-neoliberal world order, neoliberalism itself will be due for a comeback.

No more cars left to export. (Bloomberg Opinion) -- While much of the world recoils at the turmoil in markets, the upending of the global economy and the overwhelming uncertainty, I am feeling an odd sense of calm. Why?

Tariffs especially will hurt the developing world

2 weeks ago | butlereagle.com | Allison Schrager

President Donald Trump is showing America’s trading partners no mercy. If they export a lot to the U.S., it will tariff them back — by half. The rates are especially steep on many developing countries, with Vietnam, India, Thailand and Bangladesh all well over 20%. The costs won’t be felt equally. Tariffs aren’t great for the U.S., but trade is still a relatively small part of its economy (less than 25%), and if there is a corporate tax cut, the costs to U.S. consumers may not be as high as feared.

Los aranceles perjudicarán especialmente a los países en desarrollo

2 weeks ago | bloomberglinea.com | Allison Schrager |Jim Lo Scalzo

El presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, no muestra piedad con sus socios comerciales. Si exportan mucho a EE.UU., se les aplicará un arancel revertido a la mitad. Los aranceles son especialmente elevados para muchos países en desarrollo, como Vietnam, India, Tailandia y Bangladesh, que superan ampliamente el 20%. Los costos no se harán sentir por igual.
