Yaron and Amy: “Pragmatism & Arbitrary Power” TODAY at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT)

Last night, Tucker Carlson continued to defend his view that government should intervene so as to encourage and support “strong independent families.” There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the decisions being made as to how to spend government funds during the partial shutdown. Trump, in a revealing tweet, bemoans the fact that the economy could be even stronger (his view), if he had only “had long term ZERO interest rates to *play with* like the past administration.” These examples reveal a shift toward government that increasingly wields arbitrary power. This and more on today’s show. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss with Yaron.

The show will be broadcast live via streaming video on Yaron’s YouTube Channel as well as on his show’s Facebook page here.

UPDATE: ICYMI, you can watch the recording here:

Trump’s pragmatic trade policies are costing many their jobs or livelihoods. The “right” to privacy, pragmatic in origin, is having similar effects. These stories and more on today’s show. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss with Yaron.

“Trump Calls for Affirmative Action in Trade,” TODAY at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT)

Trump is calling for steep tariffs to “protect” the steel and aluminum industries, and for retributive tariffs more generally. Can anything but free trade be “fair” or “smart”? This and more on today’s show. See Program Notes, below, for stories, etc., I plan to discuss.

If you understood what “free” meant—what free trade is, why it’s both moral and necessary for *human* life—you would consider the last two redundant. https://t.co/z0fOqmI2R6

So basically you’re calling for affirmative action in trade? https://t.co/z0fOqmI2R6

— Amy Peikoff 🇺🇸 (@AmyPeikoff) March 1, 2018

Yes, analogous to affirmative action. Each relying on two wrongs making a right.

— Amy Peikoff 🇺🇸 (@AmyPeikoff) March 1, 2018

So let’s import steel, and shift workers to industries where we have a comparative advantage.

Affirmative action—including affirmative action in trade—is not the American Way. https://t.co/0TdraxsPIX
