Big Government and Trade Policies

This chapter explores the debate between the merits of big government versus the necessity of tariffs to safeguard American industries from foreign competition, particularly from China. It critiques the libertarian perspective on trade as mere transactions, advocating instead for a view focused on community, environmental stewardship, and the long-term implications of economic policies. Historical parallels are drawn to underscore the importance of vigilance in the face of geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding the ongoing economic conflict with the Chinese Communist Party.
