Trade Tariffs

As Donald Trump raises a 25% levy on all imports of steel and aluminium into the USA, as well as other tariffs on trade with friends and competitors alike, Jonathan Freedland looks back to the Corn Laws, measures introduced to protect British farmers and land owners from competition following the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. The Corn Laws and the campaign to repeal them transformed British politics and economics. How do events then compare to Donald Trump's policies and actions today? With: Professor Lawrence Goldman, Emeritus Fellow in History at St Peter's College, Oxford Linda Yueh, Fellow in Economics at St Edmund Hall, Oxford

Producer: Luke Mulhall
