Ne cannot look at or listen to the popular press without hearing discussions about tariffs and protectionism. Most commonly the conversation is about China, but there are also tariffs with Canada, Mexico, Japan, and others. What does this mean? Are they good or bad? What does it mean for US companies? For US consumers? Pay attention to the terminology, do they talk about free trade or fair trade. Are they the same? Prior to the election of 2106 when Tariffs became the hot opic, did we have free trade? Fair trade? If we think about how this discussion relates to the week, or the class; Are there positive or negative externalities associated with trade? Explain. Research an article or articles related to tariffs and post a discussion of it in this forum.. Summarize what they mean to the US businesses and citizenry? At the beginning of this class I made some comments about bias in reporting and writing. This is a topic that the popular press has extreme bias. Pay particular attention on this one.
