S2-E1: Trade Wars

Trade wars aren’t new. You may recall Ferris Bueller took a day off from school and in the process missed Ben Stein’s now famous lecture on... anyone, anyone? Tariffs. There have been several notable eras of trade wars over the past century. From the days of Smoot Hawley and the Great Depression, tariffs on all kinds of goods have impacted economic activity around the globe. Donald Trump has made it clear he and his administration want to take on China through tariffs. Who wins this trade war? Only time will tell, but in this special episode of Domino we examine the impact tariffs have had on our economy, the US consumer, and even chickens. And we take a look forward to see how this round of negotiations may shape the future of global trade for generations to come.
