Join us in Raleigh for an event with Scott Lincicome, the vice president of general economics and Cato’s Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies.
Event Description
Efforts to restrict foreign goods, services, and labor are often framed as protecting American jobs. However, these policies frequently stem from a misunderstanding of how markets work. Far from preserving jobs, protectionist regulations often stifle innovation, limit consumer choice, and hinder economic growth. In this talk, Cato VP Scott Lincicome will explore how trade and labor market regulations impact American businesses and workers—highlighting how open markets and competition drive prosperity.
