Oren Cass, an economist and political advisor, recently appeared on The Winston Marshall Show. The discussion took place at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London. Cass addressed changes in America's trade policies during the Trump administration, focusing on how tariffs have benefited American workers.
Cass argued that free trade, especially with China, has resulted in job losses and economic decline in the United States. He emphasized the historical context of protectionism and criticized free trade for not fulfilling its promises regarding job creation and economic growth.
The conversation also covered broader social and cultural impacts related to deindustrialization, including connections to the opioid epidemic.
