Going back to the 1840s and a key essay by economist Frederic Bastiat, we explain why tariffs and trade blocks are immoral and always harmful to individuals and the economy at large. We also explain why the term "general welfare" is a political canard. Only individual welfare exists, and it requires the agency of the individual to be able to assess his or her own welfare. Impositions by politicians immediately undercut that basic premise. Join us, m-f 6 pm on Rumble, X "at"gardgoldsmith and Sub to the Gardner Goldsmith Substack for Daily News and research!
