Why Turning Inward Won't Help

Richard Baldwin and Simon Evenett talk to Tim Phillips about the new Vox eBook, 'COVID-19 and Trade Policy: Why Turning Inward Won’t Work', and explain that national trade barriers in a world of internationalised manufacturing processes will make it harder for every nation to produce vital medical supplies. Insular policies will also fail to foster economic recovery, and they are a threat to the collaborative spirit that the human race will need to defeat this threat.
