US may dump steel tariffs

US may dump steel tariffs

The  BBC reports that the Bush administration may back off from steel tariffs to avoid a full-scale trade war. Worth watching and listening for: will there be the slightest hint in any announcement that these tariffs were a mistake? Or will the Bush administration continue its infallibility pose even in the face of a policy that has been both politically and economically disastrous?

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
