On an episode of the Price of Business Show, host Kevin Price interviews Dr. Phil Magness from the free-market think tank
Independent.org to discuss economic policies, trade issues, and political trends.
The Impact of Tariffs on Consumers: The discussion critiques the use of tariffs, noting that recent studies and Federal Reserve estimates indicate that tariffs largely pass through to U.S. consumers and retailers, driving up prices, worsening affordability, and contributing to inflation.
Judicial Challenges and Trade Policy: Magness and Price examine ongoing legal battles surrounding executive authority on trade, comparing modern tariff implementations to historical legislative measures like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act.
Broader Economic and Political Climate: The conversation also touches on broader economic anxieties, corporate influence, and the shifting dynamics of the political landscape as voters head toward midterm elections.
