In addition, Holly Jean contributed an article to FEE’s website that explains the concept of comparative advantage and highlights why free trade is more effective at lowering the price of goods than tariffs.
“The reality is that countries that are open to trade and investment tend to see long-term, sustained economic growth and higher living standards while countries that have higher restrictions and tariffs on international trade have weaker economic growth.”
Izabela Patriota, LOLA’s Director of Development and a contributor for Young Voices, joined Stacy Washington on SiriusXM Patriot to discuss Brazil’s recent decision to ban the X platform. Their conversation delves into the implications of this move on free speech, digital freedom, and the broader landscape of online expression in Brazil.
For RearClearMarkets, Holly Jean Soto discusses the hidden costs of tariffs, emphasizing their economic burden on American households, opportunity costs, and restrictions on economic freedom.
“Tariffs are what I call a ‘Government Knows Best Trade Policy.’ It implies government knows better than you whom you should trade with, how much it should cost you, and in what quantities you should trade with them.”
For The Portugal News, Cláudia Nunes discusses Portugal’s status as one of the most centralized countries in the OECD, highlighting the lack of administrative regionalization and its impact on addressing the distinct needs of various regions.
“Portugal is one of the most centralised countries in the OECD, rivalling Greece in this regard, another country facing development challenges.”
For Mises Wire, Anna Shnaidman explores how Austrian economic theories, particularly Carl Menger’s “Theory of the Good” and Ludwig von Mises’s concept of human action, explain the high value of the Hermès Birkin bag.
“Value is not inherent in objects; it exists only in the minds of individuals who perceive and desire them.”
