Many people rightly point to the core role that mainstream right parties play for defending liberal democracy against the far-right threat. However, solely focusing on the centre-right ignores the errors that leftwing parties have committed that have empowered the far right. A few thoughts …

Trump’s policies would hurt the US while boosting most other economies
Former president Donald Trump portrays the United States as the victim of foreigners. He suggests he would right the scales through mass deportations, steeper tariffs, and influencing Federal Reserve policies, and that foreigners would pay the price of these policies. A new PIIE working paper finds that, on the contrary, these policies implemented together would harm the US economy while benefiting most others around the world.
