Tariffs and Generational Wealth: A Dual Perspective

This chapter explores the implications of recent U.S.-China tariff increases and their impact on consumer prices, especially for industries reliant on imports. It connects these economic challenges to the growing financial disparities faced by Generation Z and the changing perceptions of work and wealth among younger generations. Through discussions on societal trends and personal anecdotes, the chapter encourages a re-evaluation of self-sufficiency and sustainable practices in light of economic pressures.
