Protectionism and Free Trade

They're the same thing. 

So long as he uses a "national security" ploy, a president can raise taxes without so much as a debate in Congress. 

International trade hasn’t had a very good time lately. The outlook is bleak indeed, but it’s not the first time, nor will it be the last.

Chinese plans for east Africa, the Indian Ocean, and a huge Eurasian trade zone make American tariffs a lessening problem for the Chinese state.

America's thriving energy sector has boomed in part thanks to inexpensive foreign steel. 

Protectionism may provide some short-term benefits to a small number of special interests, but at much greater costs to the rest of society.

Employers that rely on aluminum and steel will now have to pay more for those resources, meaning workers will see lower wages and less hiring.
