1736: The Blurt

Triffin Dilemma, Tariffs, Mar-a-Lago Accords

Donald Trump's economic strategy is analyzed through the lens of the Triffin Dilemma, a paradox where a reserve currency country must run trade deficits to provide global liquidity. A paper by Stephen Mirren suggests using 10-20% tariffs to reset the global financial system. The hosts speculate on a future "Mar-a-Lago Accord" to replace the Bretton Woods system and stabilize the U.S. dollar.
