The recent increase in tariffs has sparked considerable debate about its potential impact on the US economy. Will it boost domestic industries? Will it lead to higher prices for consumers? And what will happen to employment? While the current economic landscape is vastly different from the past, a look back at historical tariff changes can offer valuable, if surprising, insights.
