Interesting how a book written so long ago still rings so true.
These people don't know any better. The masses are vulnerable to this populist/nationalist cocktail.
If the media hammered him on his trade stance and used economists to drive the point home he'd have less misinformed people voting for him.
Protectionists always have the easy argument, he was allowed to spew his economic illiteracy basically uncontested.

Good book on this.
Do you understand basic economics? Let me break this down for you in a really simple way.
We could have 95% tariffs and it'd still be cheaper to manufacture in a 3rd world country, a tariff isn't a tax on an exporter, it's a tax on the consumer.
Logically think about this, do you seriously think economic protectionism works? Why exactly is it you think economists are so against it?
This is the problem, he isn't offering up any solutions, he's pandering to economically illiterate morons that can't grasp basic economics and don't even have the smallest idea of how trade works.
Manufacturing is not coming back to this country, that is reality. I'm going to help you out, because I seriously just feel bad for you people.
