The news is ablaze with tariffs and trade wars these days, as the Trump administration enacts tariffs, or taxes essentially, on foreign produced goods entering the US. The news being what it is, of course every outlet's take is biased toward whichever end of the political spectrum they support, with plenty of supposition and fearmongering. In today's episode, Matt Murphy cuts through the noise and explains in clear terms the ideas behind tariffs, the economic concept of comparitive advantage, and some of the challenges the US is facing with trade deficits and national debt.
Most importantly, Matt reminds us that in the real world economics is complex, and no one really knows what the impact of tariffs will be. They do have real impact on companies and their profit margins, but companies operate in different competitive environments with different challenges and not all will feel the impact equally.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
