What’s old and new in the US economy at 250?
As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, longstanding economic debates over industrial policy, tariffs, and protectionism have resurfaced. This article promotes an episode of the Atlantic Council's 'Guide to the Global Economy' podcast, featuring Financial Times columnist Rana Foroohar. The discussion traces US economic history from Alexander Hamilton's early industrial policies through the Reagan era to the current 'Trump II' period, questioning whether the nation is returning to a more interventionist economic tradition. The podcast, produced by the Atlantic Council's GeoEconomics Center, aims to help listeners navigate the intersection of global economics, finance, national security, and geopolitics. The episode explores whether current trends represent a break from the past or a revival of older economic approaches.
