Reagan’s free-market views are said to be passé. So is McKinley in the avant-garde? RIP free markets. Because of tariffs, Ford is raising prices. Toy maker Mattel is too. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News, “We don’t want to decouple—what we want is fair trade.” President Trump was nice enough to define what “fair” means: “Children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls.” This is Economics 101 of the New Right.
