War and Trade Restrictions: Fallacious Paths to National Security and Prosperity

Source: Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Patrick Barron

“The US is ignorant of how to achieve two major goals: security and prosperity. Due to this ignorance, it has engaged in an undeclared war in the Middle East and has instituted protective tariffs at home. The war in the Middle East will not enhance American security, and the protective tariffs will cause economic harm at home, both completely opposite results of their authors’ intentions.” (04/16/26)
