Navigating Supply Chain Complexities

This chapter examines the challenges and trade-offs in reshaping supply chains amid changing trade policies, with a focus on shifts from China to countries like Vietnam and Mexico. It critiques the narrative that sanctions benefit the economy and highlights the fragile nature of the North American auto industry in the face of tariffs. The discussion also reflects on the historical context of tariffs, the interests at play, and the disconnect between market reactions and economic instability.
