ECON 43133 History of Economic Thoughts

Description

instruction:

The Economic Impact of Recent New Mercantilist Trade Policies Regarding the U.S. Steel Industry. This is specific enough that it allows you to collect data on the current state of the steel industry, but you can also discuss how protectionist trade policies on steel impact the whole economy. Additionally, we can pull in some of the historical readings we'll be doing in class. Particularly, the Mercantilist ideas of trade as a zero-sum game and the emphasis on achieving a trade surplus, versus Adam Smith's response that trade is not zero-sum and that trade surpluses are not necessarily beneficial. Let me know what you think.

First, we will explain the theoretical underpinnings of Neo-Mercantilism and how it conflicts with Classical Economics, such as in their differing views of wealth. Then, we will identify U.S. policies on the steel industry which qualify as Neo-Mercantilist, explaining how these policies impact the industry. Finally, we will broaden our scope of inquiry to touch on how these policies have far-reaching consequences which affect the U.S. economy as a whole. We hypothesize that these Neo-Mercantilist policies have a negative impact on the U.S. economy as a whole, increasing the price of steel and causing other industries that use steel to lose profit. In this case, the nation is not making use of the comparative advantage that countries such as China have in steel production, choosing instead to protect the U.S. steel industry and its laborers at the expense of other sectors of the economy.
