This isn’t to say the mainstream media have given up on forecasting a recession; they have not (see U.S. Inflation Mild Ahead of Expected Jump From Tariffs – The New York Times). But I believe we’re in uncharted financial waters. No one has any concept how tariffs will play out in the fashionable world. This isn’t 1930, and references to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff and the Great Depression are slightly drained and point out a choice for anti-Trump sloganeering over statement and evaluation.
