Tariff Nation

How to Navigate and Prosper in the Trade Wars Ahead

Narrado por: Robert Ott

The rules of global trade have changed—and your old playbook won’t save you.

For nearly 80 years, globalization promised efficiency, stability, and prosperity. Supply chains stretched across oceans. Prices fell. Politics stayed (mostly) out of commerce. But the equilibrium is over. From the U.S.–China tariff battles to the weaponization of energy and food, the world has entered a new age of economic nationalism—where tariffs, resource control, and strategic alliances decide who thrives and who fails.

Tariff Nation is both a map and a manual. In Part One, Patrick J. Meyers takes you inside the forces that broke the postwar order—geopolitical rivalries, pandemic shocks, resource wars, and the rise of rival economic blocs. You’ll see why semiconductors are now a national security priority, why “just-in-time” has given way to “just-in-case,” and why tariffs are no longer relics of the past, but weapons of the present.

In Part Two, Meyers delivers the strategies you need to adapt and win in this fractured world:

• Investing in Resilience — Why passive portfolios fail in a tariff age, and where to find “Fortress Firms” ready to dominate.
• The Anti-Fragile Entrepreneur — How to start and scale businesses that thrive on disruption.
• Rebuilding the Foundations — From local manufacturing to workforce pipelines, the policies and practices that create lasting strength.
• Household & Community Defense — How families and towns can insulate themselves from global shocks.

Drawing on history, policy analysis, and real-world case studies—from Alexander Hamilton’s industrial blueprint to the BRICS economic revolt—Tariff Nation reveals how nations, companies, and individuals can turn trade wars into opportunities.
