In this second episode of our two-part series on trade and economics, Plugged into Public Health host Lauren Lavin continues her conversation with Dr. Anne Villamil, professor of economics at the University of Iowa Tippie College of Business.
Dr. Villamil breaks down what tariffs really mean, such as who pays for them, how they influence industries like manufacturing and agriculture, and why trade wars can have lasting effects on local communities. She also explains how tariffs tie into larger issues like global competition with China, inequality in the U.S., and the challenge of making sound policy in a changing world.
This episode offers a clear, accessible look at how economics, politics, and public health intersect, and why thoughtful trade policy matters for everyone.
