In this week’s episode we cover the Trump tariffs being struck down, Biden’s competition order being vacated, and new research on housing affordability. Our interview this week is with Kevin Williamson, national correspondent at The Dispatch and host of the How the World Works podcast. We’ll have a wide-ranging discussion covering everything from restaurant food waste to tariffs, wealth disparities, economic development, marginal costs and benefits, and the perpetual delusion that government can solve all of our problems for us. You can also watch the video version of the interview here.
