Trump's tariffs have clearly put emergency breaks on an economy that some would say was already on a slowdown. Join Tom Wheelwright as he explores how the tax bill will affect the economy, business owners, and investors with his guest, Matt Sekerke, economist and author of “Making Money Work.”

Matt Sekerke is a Fellow at Johns Hopkins University Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise, and a visiting Fellow at the Durham University Business School in the UK. He does research on financial markets, asset pricing, and how those feed through to the larger economy. He is a managing director at SEDA Experts, which is a consulting firm that focuses on the financial services industry; and a senior macro advisor at Hiddenite Capital Partners, which is a long short equity hedge fund.

In this episode, discover the historical justification of tariffs during war times (i.e. the need to be able to feed ourselves and produce certain things), where our economy stands now, and how investors and entrepreneurs can prepare for the future ahead.
