What to Make of the Tariff "Discussion"

David Bahnsen's Capital Record on Attention Deficit Disorder

David Bahnsen’s helpful short podcast format for 2025 includes snippets on first principles of human flourishing related to American political economy.

I catch it on YouTube in the mornings. It’s also on Apple podcasts.

A pretty good example of this is his 4 Feb 2025 discussion on tariffs. The episode is insightful as much as a commentary on political discussion, marked by attention deficit disorder, as it is on American political economy.

What I appreciate about David is his Christianity-driven constant concern for the big picture, first principles. How is it that the policy under review fits with helping the American people flourish (and by extension others as well) ?

Let me know what you think about this 18 minute discussion on tariffs. I found it to be insightful to keep in mind as we go forward.
