"any reasonable analysis"-- I will help you out, right now you can ask deepseek how tariffs helped power the asian economic miracle.
You'll also note that good trade relations with the US, not pissing off your trading partners, were a key element to that success.
I'm sure deepseek will also let you know that tariffs are by and large considered a terrible strategy in the vast majority of circumstances.
The asian economic miracle as you put it took place in countries with cheap land, essentially free labor (by Western standards), zero environmental protections, and cheap global shipping.
News flash Einstein, they weren’t buying our expensive shit to begin with. So they didn’t really need tariffs. Why? Because they lived in huts with no electricity or running water and ate rice and vegetables for every meal.
Neoliberal takes. I’ve been reading the Wall Street Journal daily since before you were born, back when it wasn’t just another mouthpiece for some rich asshole with an axe to grind.
Latin american countries made the mistake of trying to build an economy by reducing imports through tariffs, as we can see it did not work.
