This week, Ron Steslow and Liam Donovan (Principal at Bracewell LLP) discuss the tariff rollercoaster, the “new right” economic theory driving them, and why the Trump administration cares a lot less about the stock market than in his first term.
Then, we discuss why we’re engaged in full-throttle economic warfare with China.
Finally, we head to Politicology+ where we discuss how the uncertainty around tariffs is impacting business and how tariffs breed cronyism.
Segments this week:
(07:44) The “new right”
(37:42) Economic warfare
