If you think about it, UK, had all the technology, all the political room to power up manufacturing, how come they aren't a manufacturing powerhouse.
Is it because they didn't have tariffs?
Tariffs ultimately have nothing to do with manufacturing, manufacturing "under capitalism" requires Slavery/near Slavery conditions.
It's virtually impossible to put that system back after your general population comes out of it. You can try, but you will never have enough of them.
That is why Capitalism follows the Imperialist doctrine of OFF-loading the hard stuff.
Well, there's no where left to offload. If you put on the tariffs now, manufacturing won't come back, the entirety of spending will come to a crawl.
Again, generally a good thing, (climate), (reduced consumerism), but if we're talking about metrics, especially where small money is money to the working poor such as the Tp4, it's going to get Tuffs.
