Hi el, I've always thought that globalization was an attempt to destroy the powerful unions. It has worked - the big unions left are in the government. I do not think that trade tariffs will be so destructive - there is a lot of fear mongering going on. Free trade is a viable concept - those who produce the most efficiently - become the biggest. It's when tariffs are not equal (reciprocal) that free trade becomes unfair trade. No tariffs is the best solution - let the efficient prevail. The lowering of tariffs is the final solution - John Claude Juncker (president of the EU) just proved it last week. They blinked and lower tariffs will result on a global wide basis. It could just be stimulative to trade - but those with built in interests don't want to talk about that - so far. Bob
