In the wake of President Trump’s “Liberation Day,” we’ve published a number of pieces from a variety of perspectives—from historians exuberant about Trump’s war on globalism to economists certain that his tariffs spell financial disaster.
Niall Ferguson predicted the end of the American empire and decades of abundance spurred by free trade and globalism. Victor Davis Hanson defended the tariffs—and Trump’s impending trade war—as just and necessary for helping long-overlooked U.S. workers. Tyler Cowen warned of an incoming recession caused squarely by the uncertainty Trump injected into the markets.
Our reporters heard from steelworkers in Pittsburgh, anxious garment merchants in lower Manhattan, and those left behind by deindustrialization in rural America.
Here to help make sense of it all is Lloyd Blankfein, who ran Goldman Sachs for more than a decade—including during the global financial crash of 2008.
He’ll be joined by Dennis Berman—the publisher of The Free Press and a veteran business reporter—and me. And it starts in 30 minutes!
