You know how we're a free trade country? It's our thing. We export, we earn, we sell, we get richer. And we want open supply chains and free movement of goods across borders, etc., etc. Well, today Trump and Xi of China are finally signing that deal—or at least the framework of a deal—to bring an end to this war. This should, in theory, benefit both of them. The region. And us. That's a good thing. We're also likely to sell our dairy consumer brands to the French today, in a deal worth $4 billion. That's a good thing. Yesterday, Westpac released some research—they reckon our GDP wasn't actually that bad in June.They revised down their estimate from a 0.9% contraction to just 0.1%. They say it all came down to an accounting glitch related to the closure of the Marsden Point oil refinery. In all of these stories, two ideologies are playing out. Are we a free trade, open-the-door, globalist sort of country? Or are we the Winston Peters, protectionist, don't-sell-your-milk-brands, keep-Marsden-Point-open type of place? Are we New Zealand First? Because the more countries out there protecting themselves, the stronger the argument becomes for us doing the same.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's show features stories from France 24, Radio Havana Cuba, and Radio Deutsche-Welle. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr251024.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- Start with press reviews on Trumps war in South America, bringing a large military force ostensibly against drug traffickers. Then Angela Diffley interviews Daniel Landsberg-Rodriguez from Northwestern University about the changing approach from the US in Latin America. He talks about the history of Gunboat Diplomacy in Venezuela in 1910, and new alliances with governments shifting to Populist anti-institutional leadership. Daniel calls it a contest of affinity, the more Trump style you are, like Argentina and El Salvador, the more privileged your treatment. Those countries wishing to remain independent, like Colombia and Venezuela, are facing the impositions of the 19th century From CUBA- The Colombian President Petro denies the Trump accusation that he involved in drug trafficking and says the Colombian military will not assist the US in overthrowing Maduro in Venezuela. He also accuses Trump of violating a free trade agreement between the nations, harming attempts to diversify agriculture in Colombia. Israel is continuing its raids in Gaza despite agreeing to a ceasefire, and in the West Bank Israeli settlers made 71 attacks on Palestinians in the past week, beating them and driving them off their property. From GERMANY- Israel released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for hostages and many of them were tortured while in Israeli prisons without being charged with crimes. An interview with Helena Sola Martin of the World Organization Against Torture. She discusses the Israeli policy of detention without charging and banning the International Red Cross from monitoring the 18,000 Palestinians they detained. The prisoners reported beatings, lack of food and medicine, humiliation and cruelty.

In this Episode #7, I detail how I unwittingly jumped in and tried to make a significant change in the wine industry by trying to undo the Franchise Law protection that the alcoholic beverage wholesale distributors have in this country. These Laws are a vestige of the repeal of Prohibition and harm the wine producers in the most unfair way possible in well over half of the states in the country.I started a new organization on the heels of the Coalition for Free Trade's successful Supreme Court ruling that was issued on May 16, 2005, which allowed the direct shipment of wine from the producer to consumers throughout most of this country. The new organization was aptly named Wine Fair Trade Coalition (WFTC), as the goal was to provide the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) with a roadmap for them to investigate and help, as they did in their work that helped set a course for the CFT's successful fight. However, it turned out to be a fool's errand in the long run.Take a listen.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast. For more information go to www.finewineconfidential.com

In the sixth episode of our trade series, Pitchfork Economics producer Freddy Doss talks with Mexican economist Juan Carlos Moreno-Brid about how NAFTA — and now the USMCA — reshaped Mexico's economy in ways that those of us north of the Rio Grande almost never hear about. Yes, exports skyrocketed. But wages stagnated, domestic industry hollowed out, and Mexico became structurally dependent on the United States — even as political rhetoric in the U.S. grew more hostile toward Mexican workers. Moreno-Brid explains why the promised “shared prosperity” never arrived, why Mexico got stuck in an export-without-development trap, and what a truly fair and resilient U.S.–Mexico trade relationship would actually require. It's a perspective rarely heard in Washington, and an essential one for understanding the real stakes of North American trade. Juan Carlos Moreno-Brid is a professor of economics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and one of Latin America's leading experts on trade, industrial policy, and economic development. A former Deputy Director of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) office in Mexico, he has spent decades analyzing the impacts of NAFTA and Mexico's transition to an export-led model. His research focuses on inequality, industrialization, and the structural challenges facing emerging economies.

Funnels are linear. Growth loops are exponential. You need funnels to grow, but the power of growth loops is what will make your app engagement, give you high retention, and maybe even give you viral growth.In this episode of Growth Masterminds, host John Koetsier sits down with Hannah Parvaz, CEO of Aperture, to break down growth loops, the systems that power predictable, scalable, compounding growth.We cover referral loops, content loops, habit loops, community loops, incentive loops, and more. Plus: how to kickstart loops, what to do about the cold start problem, and whether you should design around a loop or let your product's natural usage define it.Hannah shares stories from building viral referral systems (yes, free drinks were involved), explains how apps like Strava and Snapchat keep you hooked, and dives into why loops can be more powerful than funnels.Like, subscribe, and share!

The Farmers for Free Trade motorcade passed through Wisconsin last week. The grassroots campaign is trying to focus attention at the economic damage being done to America's farmers with the loss of international markets. Brian Kuehl is the executive director of FFFT and tells Bob Bosold it's not just about lost markets, it's also about retaliatory counter measures that impact things like machinery parts and fertilizer prices. All items that farms need and must pay the price.Frost warnings populate the weather forecast this morning. It's going to feel more like winter than fall with active winds and temperatures that will struggle to get near the 50's. Stu Muck has the chilly details.Wisconsin Science Fest is underway across the state and it's all about engagement. Ben Jarboe talks to George Tzougros, Executive Director Wisconsin Arts Board. Tzougros says this year's event combines everything from technology to new innovations and inventions. He says even in agriculture, there are unique combinations of art and science that they want the general public to understand.The Affordable Care Act is in a precarious position and Wisconsin farm families are watching in anticipation. Danielle Endvick, executive director of the Wisconsin Farmers Union, says that if tax benefits are continued, many farm families could face losing their insurance or seeing premiums double. Wisconsin cheese is making its mark on the global stage. In just a few years, the number of state cheesemakers exporting their products has grown from nine to more than 30, reaching over 50 countries in 2025. DFW Board Member Mark Crave says through trade shows, retail programs, and international buyer missions, Wisconsin’s dairy checkoff is building strong connections with importers from Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. These efforts not only boost global recognition but also strengthen demand for Wisconsin milk, helping secure a stable future for the state’s dairy farmers.

Today, the Two Mikes dive deep into America's economic future with economists Ian Fletcher and Marc Fasteau, co-authors of Industrial Policy for the United States: Winning the Competition for Good Jobs and High-Value Industries.

Jerry opens the show by talking about a poem called "Help the World." Francis Syms, the associate dean of information and communications technology at Humber Polytechnic discusses people being charged for flying drones over Blue Jays games. The CBC will defend its refusal to revel how many Gem subscribers they have. Plus - when was the last time you used a fax machine?

The Two Mikes today spoke to economists Ian Fletcher and Marc Fasteau (co-authors of the 2025 book Industrial Policy for the United States: Winning the Competition for Good Jobs and High-Value Industries, to discuss their work advocating for a robust U.S. industrial policy to counter decades of free trade failures and revive manufacturing. Key Topics Covered: Trade and Tariffs: They argue that unfettered free trade has hollowed out American industry, benefiting rivals like China through subsidies and barriers. Fletcher and Fasteau endorse strategic tariffs as a core tool to protect key sectors (e.g., steel, high-tech), penalize unfair practices, and encourage reshoring—framing them not as inflationary relics but as selective levers for fair competition, potentially exempting allies like South Korea while targeting adversaries. Alternative Energy Sources: The conversation highlights industrial policy's role in advancing clean tech, such as batteries and renewables, by federal support for commercialization (beyond R&D). They cite examples of government-funded innovation pipelines to secure U.S. leadership in energy transitions, reducing reliance on imported supply chains. Government Subsidies: Emphasizing "selective intervention," they call for expanded subsidies—including loans, tax credits, and procurement preferences—to nurture high-value industries. This builds on Biden-era initiatives like the CHIPS Act but pushes for comprehensiveness, including WTO exit if needed, to create good jobs and foster innovation without distorting markets broadly. The authors draw on historical case studies and data to substantiate their critique of neoliberal economics, positioning industrial policy as essential for national security and prosperity SPONSORS Our Gold Guy: https://www.mygoldguy.com www.TwoMikes.us

Wisconsin agriculture - agriculture and food production in general - doesn't work without workers. Wisconsin Congressman, Derrick Van Orden, has been spending time gathering stories that exemplify why foreign born workers remain a critical cog in getting things done. He says the message to him has been clear. Now Congress has to get things done when it comes to a legal system that farms and agribusinesses can work with to keep their operations functioning with foreign born laborers. Van Orden explains to Ben Jarboe the different options that he's proposing to revise existing H2A guidelines, and creating legal channels for employers to usher employees through the process. Van Orden's Agriculture Reform Act of 2025 holds some key elements to keeping food production in the U.S. moving. It'll be cloudy, with some rain - but nothing real measurable. That's the word from Stu Muck. Friday could potentially bring a little heavier rain to the state's farm fields. It's not just Wisconsin farmers that are in the midst of harvesting. Plenty of garden produce is being used and shared in neighborhoods these days. What are your plans for the rest? Kiley Allan provides a few tips for canning and freezing courtesy of Heather Quackenboss, UW-Extension Educator in LaCrosse County. Farmers for Free Trade brought its motorcade to Westby Wisconsin on Wednesday. Brian Kuehl, executive director of FFFT says they're planning to cover over 2500 miles on their journey from Nebraska to Washington, D.C. They're gathering farmers stories about what the international marketplace means to their farming operations and their futures. Strategies are critical right now for Wisconsin dairy operators. They're looking at a bleak picture for milk prices in 2026 as global production grows and product prices slip. Katie Burgess, dairy analyst with EverAg say using new insurance tools to protect the valuable dairy beef revenue is a critical component for next year that should be activated today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the fifth episode of our series on trade, journalist and author Luke Savage joins Pitchfork Economics Producer Freddy Doss to unpack how decades of “free trade” between the U.S. and Canada have reshaped both economies—entrenching corporate power, hollowing out manufacturing, and weakening democratic control over economic policy. Savage traces how policies sold as mutually beneficial instead fueled inequality and deindustrialization—eroding the livelihoods of working people. He argues for a new kind of trade built to serve the interests of workers and communities, not multinational corporations.  Luke Savage is a Canadian journalist, author, and political commentator whose work examines the failures of liberalism and the possibilities of democracy. A staff writer at Jacobin and co-host of the podcast Michael and Us, Savage has written for The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and The New Statesman.

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews Dan McCarthy and Murray Simser for a fascinating discussion on a question first raised during the 1988 federal election. In that year's leaders' debate, John Turner famously warned:“Once a country yields its economic levers, once a country yields its energy … once a country yields its agriculture … once a country opens itself to a subsidy war with the United States … then the political ability of this country to remain as an independent nation — that has gone forever, and that is the issue of this election.”They explore whether Turner was right — tracing Canada's trade history from the McDonald Royal Commission and the 1988 Free Trade election, through the promises and pitfalls of economic integration, to the challenges of dealing with President Trump's protectionist agenda. Dan and Murray share insights on how globalization has reshaped sovereignty, the missed opportunities for adjustment programs in the 1990s, and the ongoing question of how much sovereignty Canada can afford to give up in future trade deals.Their conversation also looked ahead: Should Canada pursue deeper integration with the U.S. through a security perimeter and labor mobility, or diversify trade with other global partners? And what does it mean for Canada's political independence when the U.S. increasingly views us as its “51st state”?

On the latest episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton critiques “green” mandates through the seen–unseen lens, contrasting them with conservation grounded in property rights and price signals. He spotlights silver—vital for electronics, medicine, and water filtration, hard to recycle, and mostly a mining byproduct—now in multi-year supply deficits. Subsidies for solar and EVs accelerate silver consumption and divert it from higher-value uses into short-lived installations. Real conservation comes from ownership, profit and loss, and interest rates, not bureaucratic targets.Donate $5 today to support the Mises Institute's Fall Campaign and receive a physical copy of Hayek for the 21st Century: https://mises.org/mi25A special bonus offer for Minor Issues listeners: donate to the Mises Institute's Fall Campaign and receive a signed copy of Free Trade in the 21st Century: https://mises.org/mi25Be sure to follow Minor Issues at https://Mises.org/MinorIssues

Nebraska farmers entering harvest season with near record high corn and soybean yields have been met with low prices for their crops. Coupled with higher than usual input prices due to tariffs, many will lose money this year. Smith, who serves as chair of the Congressional Agriculture Trade Caucus, says he is hopeful that President Trump will work to open up new markets for farmers and reach trade deals to bring down tariffs. Brian Kuehl, the co-executive director of Farmers for Free Trade, says time is running out.

David responds to his National Review colleague Michael Brendan Dougherty's recent attack on free trade. David tries to be far more charitable in tone and content than protectionists appear willing to be, but seeks to hold the anti-free-trade crowd to the same thing all engaged in public argument ought to be held to, especially in an economic way of thinking: first principles, a limiting principle, and, most of all, the accountability of real life.

The United States and China wrapped up the third round of high-level trade negotiations earlier this week. American and Chinese negotiators met in Stockholm on July 28 and 29. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the talks as constructive and wide ranging. He acknowledged that an extension of the 90-day tariff pause was discussed but said that the final decision was up to President Trump.  As of today – August 1 – Trump has remained mum. The Chinese side's readout was devoid of details, although China's vice minister of commerce said that both countries would continue to push for an extension of the reciprocal tariffs and Chinese countermeasures.How should we assess the dynamics in the trade talks, including the balance of leverage between Washington and Beijing? And how might the trade negotiations shape the future of the US-China relationship? To discuss these questions, we are joined by Dr. Scott Kennedy. Scott is senior adviser and trustee chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:06] Lessons Learned from Trump's First Administration[05:20] Chinese Outlook on Future Economic Policy[09:28] Who's Winning the Trade War?[14:30] China's Reactions to Transshipment Provisions[18:18] Bessent's Rebalancing Plans [24:14] Challenges to Chinese Investment in the US [29:15] China's Trade Deal Goals

China is intensifying its institutional opening-up by moving toward island-wide independent customs operation in the Hainan Free Trade Port on December 18th.

Roger welcomes Lord Daniel Hannan, a British writer, historian and member of the UK House of Lords, for a wide-ranging conversation on executive overreach, constitutional principles and the ideas that preserve liberty.They explore how power has steadily concentrated in the hands of presidents and prime ministers, weakening the roles of legislatures and citizens alike. They also reflect on what America borrowed and improved on from British political traditions through its written Constitution, and consider how both nations risk forgetting the foundations of their freedom. Other topics include the aftermath of Brexit, the future of free trade and why humility and historical awareness are essential for effective governance in the 21st century.Lord Daniel Hannan serves as international secretary of the Conservative Party, is the founding president of the Institute for Free Trade, a New York Times bestselling author and a former Conservative member of the European Parliament.

There's no shortage of economic confusion in Washington, from tariffs and trade wars to myths about trade deficits. But these misguided narratives lead to bad policies that raise consumer costs, hurt workers, and weaken America's economy.Let's set the record straight.Tariffs don't create jobs—they destroy them. Protectionism raises prices, stifles innovation, and undermines our competitiveness. It's time to get back to economic basics.During This Week's Economy, I'm breaking down what trade is, why it matters, and how free markets—not government planners—create prosperity.You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.Visit: VanceGinn.comSubscribe: VanceGinn.Substack.com

The British complained of unfair competition from goods supplied by the American colonists. So the state intervened to manage trade and make it “fair.” But the American revolutionaries saw protectionism for the scam it was, and still is.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/american-revolution-was-free-trade-revolution

For a long time, Republicans and many Democrats espoused some version of free-trade economics that would have been familiar to Adam Smith. But Donald Trump breaks radically with that tradition, embracing a form of protectionism that resulted in his extremely broad and chaotic tariff proposals, which tanked markets and deepened the fear of a global recession. John Cassidy writes The New Yorker's The Financial Page column, and he's been covering economics for the magazine since 1995. His new book, “Capitalism and Its Critics: A History,” takes a long view of these debates, and breaks down some of the arguments that have shaped the U.S.'s current economic reality. “Capitalism itself has put its worst face forward in the last twenty or thirty years through the growth of huge monopolies which seem completely beyond any public control or accountability,” Cassidy tells David Remnick. “And young people—they look at capitalism and the economy through the prism of environmentalism now in a way that they didn't in our generation.”

Is the United States victimized by trade? What causes trade deficits? Are higher tariffs a good idea? Can manufacturing jobs return to the United States? Economist Doug Irwin of Dartmouth College answers these questions and more in this wide-ranging conversation with EconTalk's Russ Roberts.

Episode 4410: Ramping Up Free Trade In The US; Reordering Of The New Monetary System

Tariffs and Trade Policies: President Trump's Tariff Announcement: On April 2nd, President Trump announced high tariffs on nearly every country, the highest since 1933. This caused significant market turmoil, with a $6 trillion loss in 48 hours. Debate within the White House: There is an ongoing debate about whether to use these tariffs as leverage to lower other countries' tariffs and then reduce U.S. tariffs or to keep them permanently. Impact on Manufacturing: The tariffs aim to bring back manufacturing jobs to the U.S., which have been lost over the past 50 years. International Reactions: Countries like Vietnam and Israel are eager to negotiate deals to reduce tariffs. Over 50 countries have reached out to the U.S. for negotiations. Nationwide Injunctions: Judicial Activism: The discussion highlights the issue of nationwide injunctions issued by left-wing judges to block President Trump's policies. This has been a significant challenge for the administration. Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing: There was a hearing on the topic, discussing the threat to democracy and the rule of law posed by these injunctions. Economic Strategies: Invest USA Fund: A proposal for an investment fund to encourage companies to build factories in the U.S. and receive tariff credits in return. China and National Security: Decoupling from China: The discussion emphasizes the importance of reducing economic dependence on China for national security reasons, especially in critical supply chains.
