INDICAST 42: Tariffs, Trade and Trump

In this episode, we dive into the escalating tariff war ignited by President Donald Trump in 2025 and unpack the economic, political, and global consequences of America's shift away from free trade.

What happens when two countries start taxing each other’s goods in a full-blown trade war? Who really pays the price—China, the U.S., or the average citizen? We break it down using classic economic theory, historical analogies, and a reality check on whether trade deficits mean someone’s “cheating.”

We also explore:

Why tariffs are not just about economics—they're about power.
How modern supply chains crumble under protectionist pressure.
Why Trump’s latest tariffs have sparked protests across all 50 states.
What this means for the global rules-based trading order.
This isn't just a debate about economics—it's about how the world trades, fights, and moves forward.

📉 Global markets are shaking. Domestic prices are rising. The international order is shifting. Tune in to understand why tariffs matter more than ever.
