DESCRIPTION:The global trade war in the 1930s: An historical perspective on Trump and tariffs
Currently there is concern that a&nbsp\;global trade war might&nbsp\;result from&nbsp\;Donald Trump's protectionist policies. In this talk\, Professor Borland will present an overview of a previous major episode of a global trade war - the rise in international&nbsp\;trade barriers&nbsp\;that occurred in the early 1930s. The talk will describe the origins of this episode and its consequences for international trade and cooperation\; and will conclude with some analysis of parallels to the situation today.&nbsp\;
