Evolving trade dynamics: Global imports and their role in supporting US jobs | Hinrich Foundation

For over a decade, US politics has falsely blamed global trade for job losses, but data shows the US economy has recovered from the "China Shock," become more resilient, and now benefits from imports. Our partners at the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents USA interviewed experts from Georgetown University’s Lab for Globalization and Shared Prosperity on why trade was miscast as a villain in US political narrative.
To dig deeper into the debate on whether trade causes job losses, AFPC interviewed Georgetown University's J. Bradford Jensen, Nita Rudra, and Niccolò Bonifai, experts from the Lab for Globalization and Shared Prosperity and co-authors of the report Is Trade Really Toxic? How Imports Support American Jobs, published by the Foundation in April.
