Richard Wolff: U.S. Tariffs May Cost More Jobs Than They Save

Can we really win by protecting U.S. auto jobs with tariffs?
In this clip, economist Richard Wolff explains how protectionist policies like tariffs on Chinese EVs create winners and losers—but often at an invisible cost.
He warns that the jobs "saved" in U.S. auto manufacturing might be outnumbered by jobs lost elsewhere in the economy due to higher prices and retaliation.

🚆 He also highlights how countries like Germany and Japan lead in transportation while the U.S. lags behind.
