Since Donald Trump came to power in the United States at the start of the year, the global economy has been on a rollercoaster ride due to the trade war he has launched and its multiple twists and turns.
Few political decisions have as much impact as those relating to international trade, and today’s is not the first war of this kind. With history being an excellent teacher, our economists have taken a historical approach to analyze trade wars and look at their effects on the economy.
In their text, our experts at iA Global Asset Management, Sébastien Mc Mahon, Chief Strategist and Senior Economist, and Alex Bellefleur, Senior Vice-President and Head of Research, Asset Allocation, discuss the lessons that history has to offer on the economic costs and unintended consequences of protectionism.
