YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Tariffs are often pitched as a way to protect American jobs and stand up to foreign governments. In this episode of Table for Two, Peter Suderman and Eric Boehm dig into what tariffs actually do and who really ends up paying for them.

At the center of the discussion is the Chicken Tax, a 1960s trade retaliation that turned into one of the most enduring examples of protectionism in American policy. What began with a fight over poultry continues to shape the auto industry today. The result is a revealing case study in how temporary trade barriers become permanent economic burdens.
