Reason interviewed five signatories of the Anti-Tariff Declaration— including Senior Fellow Michael C. Munger, Senior Fellow Benjamin Powell, and Research Fellow David Henderson—to learn why they oppose tariffs and support free trade.
“Tariffs are bad domestic policy, and bad foreign policy,” said Munger.
“Tariffs will harm the well-being of average Americans while failing to achieve the stated and often mutually contradictory objectives of their advocates,” said Powell.
Henderson warned Trump's tariffs jeopardize 80 years of progress toward free trade.
