Most liberal commentators are vociferously against tariffs, but Shawn Fain and some other labor folks are in favor? Is this the end of neoliberalism (really this time)? Is manufacturing coming back to America? How should socialists strategize around the near and present economic crisis? We don't have the answers, but we've got a couple economists to talk it through with. Oriol is an ecological macroeconomist and international political economist. Brandon is a researcher at the Levy Economics Institute; he also publishes on housing economics at rentrentier.com. There will be a short presentation, then we'll spend most of the time in Q&A and discussion. Small bites and beverages will be provided. RSVP HERE.
