Nostalgia for production will make the United States poorer

Welcome back. Now Donald Trump has stopped “mutual” tariff plans (as predicted) Last week’s newsletter), this publication will expand the broader agenda of the US president to make America a “manufacturer super power”.

April 2, in the “Freedom Day” speech, the Commander General Commander retired Autoworker Brian Pannebecker said several words.

How can a dispute in this regard? This is what I will try to give out contours.

First, empathy. Production work in America has decreased in the last four decades. The import of the competition from abroad contributed to the closures of the plant and could not restore many former industrial areas. (I recommend Peter Santenello YouTube channelThis is the life of what documents in the US countries.)

At that time, the United States has increased income inequality. Most capital has increased the share of common resources.

Jim Reid, the head of the global macro investigation of the Deutsche Bank, sees the lucrative ratio of the United States as a share of global GDP in time.

“(This potentially) reflects more efficient global supply chains, a larger marketplace and benefits of less cost-spending labor in the world,” globalization). “This, especially low-skilled workers, especially expensive workers, definitely.”

Indeed, as the reality of the American global protectionist agenda, Tankkan used the tank tank to strengthen the platform of the stock market.

The charm of onshore production is then clear. However, it should think that the presidential plans will be able to support the employment of the American labor-intensive factory and the best way to these tariffs.

Trading Secretary Howard Lutnick wrote the ambition in the last interview: “Millions and millions of people, small, small screws, said that such thing will come to America.” (In particular, Trump released smartphones and other consumer electronics from “mutual” tariffs FridayHowever, the tasks of the sector are in the works.)

In both cases, the goal is to reorganize the scale and specialization of the developing world factories and the United States will need workers and capital.

But Americans want to enter several American industrial affairs. One 2024 Cato Survey Found that a quarter believes that it would be better in a factory with his current employment. (Trump’s “middle class” in the sectors that produce goods today.) The management also hosts immigration to immigration.

As for capital, factory owners have limitation restrictions to build import duties in America. Given the cost of transfer to the United States, the investors will need to clarify internal access chains and how far tariffs are. All in a short time.

Take apple for size. Dan ives, a repaired analyst, estimated The iPhone manufacturer needs to change one of the ten of the supply chain of up to $ 30 and $ 30 billion to the United States.

Management accounts This is the “transition value” on the road to bring back the blue collar work. As Pannebecker offers speeches, some are ready to give it time.

Although some factory works do not return to America, my trump and supporters are ready to pay for me.

True, some factory works are charged with abroad (although automation plays an important role). However, paying attention to this loss – and try to siege trade openness – this is a greater, economic-wide benefits.

The US-made exit has really rose over the last four decades, as the factory works are rejected. The American industry is more productive today. The lesser employee (and more robot) is higher valuable products with a higher salary.

In fact, each employee is measured in value and the United States is in the first place among major economies (it is estimated to be in Chinese almost seven times). More than a five-fifth of the produced, as developed technological and aerospace products are products with high research and development.

The United States only ranks in the second place behind China in general Global production speech. America has America by most actions already “a production super strength “.

External wage work is a partial top point in the foreign salary and higher valuable economic activity. This allowed income, work and economy.

“Americans are now designed in a place like tennis shoes and iPphys, and engineering products,” said CATO Director Colin Grabow at the Institute of CATO. “They may not work in factories or even work for companies with factories, but there are vital cogs on production lines.”

From 1990, America has lost 5 mn production. At that time, he won 11.8 mn in vocational and business services, 3.3 million in transport and material and technical activities related to multinational supply chains.

However, if the purpose of a tariff wall is to force the labor-intensity of the supply chain to move on land, it will be the price of higher valuable activities. With US enterprises, services and research operations, the scales should almost change the resources against them. (As mentioned, it is impossible for the future and labor supply to be limited.)

This also means accepting higher costs. The less scale, the less wage (compared to the developing economy) and “transition costs”, Trump’s plan, currently increases consumer prices for low-income households. Until the internal supply chains are established, the tariffs will have the same effect thanks to higher import costs.

A large number of demand for any new physical goods was to come from abroad. The prices of higher factory gate and revenge tariffs of the US trade partners will prevent it. Americans spend a larger part of their revenues to services (health, services and entertainment). Many goods have also become “Dematerialize” in the digital world (eg DVDs, maps).

For research for measurement Tax Fund During the first period of Trump, the tariffs of 232 pieces of steel and aluminum imports, increased production costs for manufacturers (employment in that industry), consumer prices and exports. Peterson Institute of International Economics estimated that the price of “savings” in steel produced $ 650,000. Imagine this along the Panoplize of Trump’s tariffs.

If labor is to create an intensive factory, it will be difficult, undesirable and difficult to get with tariffs, and what is the alternative? Should the past industrialized parts of America just accept the relative revenue decrease?

“The thing we learn is to adjust the great negative shocks of large negative shocks -, including large decline, automation and import competition, and have great long-term results for societies, University of California, a great professor at the University of California, San Diego.

This means supporting people and businesses faster than maintaining businesses. This includes planning rules for recovery planning rules to support the real economy in the real economy to support the real economy in investments in the real economy and support preparation initiatives and supporting a healthy competitive policy. (Tariffs add obstacles to access and make small businesses difficult to scale.)

Globalization was a defective defective defective defective for the lack of domestic policy in these areas. It will be more than more than protectionism than protectionism than creating more foreign investments and workplaces in the United States.

Creating economic durability and agility – it is not easy to allow industry post-industrial communities to meet and benefit from international trade forces. Constructively combat disputes with trade partners. However, at least, at least maintain the growth effect of global supply chains.

Trump’s plan has to return America in several decades instead. If it is what supporters want, they should make the people as completely poor.
