Privileged Discussions: Global Trade Deciphered
Trump and Tariffs (Darwin & Survival of the Fittest, or the Strongest!)
In this episode, Justin Hayden Miller, a Global Trade & Customs lawyer and consultant, using clips of Margaret Thatcher, analyses latest developments of President Trump’s trade and tariff policies, particularly as regards to Canada and China.
The episode provides constructive critical analysis of President Trump’s approach to trade and tariffs.
It considers:
- Comparisons between Canadian and US relations to Brexit and that of the UK’s relations with the European Union
- Comparisons between Darwinism and the theory of Survival of the Fittest, with modern day approaches to trade, drawing parallels with current events
- Free trade (and Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations) and whether economic thinking is evolving in parallel with the AI revolution - making a comparison that free trade economics was in many ways created out of the industrial revolution
- the notion of wealth, with audio clips of Margaret Thatcher, which provide insights on her viewpoint concerning some of the issues.
- Brief analysis on whether Donald Trump’s opinions on art have any bearing on his international trade policies and tariffs
Artistic references mentioned in the episode:
The album 'Love' by The Cult; produced by Steve Brown; release date October 1985; post-punk, alternative hard rock.
