The Great Tariff Mystery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When taxing an imported product begins creating politically uncomfortable consequences, the solution repeatedly turns out to be…taxing it less. What do coffee, beef, bananas, oranges, tomatoes, cocoa, tea, spices, tropical fruit, fertilizer, potash, automobiles, auto parts, smartphones, computers, and Chinese manufactured goods have in common? Quite a lot, as it turns out. Over the past year and a half, the Trump administration imposed or expanded tariffs affecting every one of them. Depending u

Read excerpt
When we look back at the dawn of the internet age, we see how far attitudes toward emerging technologies have changed. Thirty years ago, the commercial internet burst onto the scene amid sweeping predictions. It would transform commerce, eliminate industries, reshape labor markets, and create fortunes on an unprecedented scale. It did all of those things.
