Why the Trump tax is a disaster for the US and the world - from award-winning journalist Philip Coggan
A timely exploration of Donald Trump's economic policy - and why it matters for the worldEconomic policy set at the whim of one man. Tariffs up one day and down the next. Businesses bewildered, consumers alarmed. As Donald Trump wages his trade war, what will become of a global economy dependent on close trading links? Leading financial journalist Philip Coggan lifts the lid on Trump's economic gamble, why it's a universal threat and how we can make sense of this new 'age of chaos'. This is his clear-sighted and powerful rallying cry in defence of global trade - and why it matters for the world.

The book is a tour de force. The arguments are very clearly and succinctly put in a way that should convince anyone of the madness of the tariff policy -- David Miles, Professor of Financial Economics at Imperial College
Coggan's analysis is sharp, accessible and free from polemic - grounded in facts and, most importantly, good old economic common sense -- Tej Parikh * FT *
