Stephen Miran proposes 20-50% tariffs; argues they could reshape U.S. economy, despite risks and traditional free trade views.

Stephen Miran, appointed chair of the Council of Economic Advisers by the president-elect, proposes that average tariffs in the U.S. could be increased to around 20%, potentially reaching 50%, from the current 2%.

Miran views tariffs and international intervention to weaken the dollar as tools to address persistent global economic issues, including the overvalued dollar, trade deficit, and weakened industrial base resulting from U.S. economic support of other nations.

In his report for Hudson Bay Capital, “A User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System,” Miran argues that significant changes in tariff policy and dollar strength could profoundly reshape global trade dynamics. It’s crucial to note that these ideas reflect Miran’s views rather than Trump’s policies.

Miran, who earned his Ph.D. from Harvard, acknowledges the risks associated with his proposals, emphasising that while theoretically grounded in economics, practical implementation may encounter challenges.

Trade typically allows for increased production and consumption, and many economists believe tariffs negatively impact economic performance. However, conditions may exist where tariffs could be beneficial, especially under specific market circumstances, as highlighted in Miran’s discussions on optimal tariffs.

In his view, a 20% tariff is ideal, suggesting that even a 50% rate could yield advantages for the U.S., based on research from respected economists. The implications of such policy changes warrant in-depth consideration as they could alter the landscape of international trade significantly.
