Oren Kass

Oren Kass, founder and chief economist at American Compass, delves into the economic strategies behind President Trump’s tariffs. He argues that these tariffs aim to recreate a manufacturing renaissance rooted in nostalgia for traditional values. Kass discusses the socio-economic shifts impacting manufacturing jobs and critiques the misguided belief that tariffs can easily reverse deindustrialization. He also explores how businesses harness nostalgia to connect with consumers emotionally while advocating for a modern economic model that fosters growth and mobility.
