‘Tariffs can play a very effective role’

This episode of Hub Dialogues features Oren Cass, the founder and chief economist of American Compass, a conservative think tank that is challenging traditional Republican thinking on the economy and influencing a number of younger Republicans including Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley, and Vice President JD Vance.

Cass discusses how Canadians should understand the ongoing threat of tariffs, the ideas and impulses that are animating the Trump administration’s disruptive economic and foreign policies, and where Canada fits in the post-liberal international order.
