Ben Vagle

Steve Brooks, a Government Professor at Dartmouth and co-author of 'Command of Commerce,' joins Ben Vagle, a JD and PhD candidate at Stanford, to discuss U.S.-China economic competition. They challenge the belief that China holds significant economic power, arguing that a decoupling would hurt China more. Brooks and Vagle highlight the importance of U.S. alliances and explore strategies for reducing manufacturing dependence on China. They also consider the long-term consequences of potential economic separation for both nations.
