Tariffs, Trump and free trade - forming a Christian worldview

‘Replace capitalism with something nicer.’ – May Day placard, 2001 ⁽¹⁾

‘The failure of our world is not that there is too much globalization, but that there is too little.’ – Martin Wolf ⁽²⁾

This article reproduces, almost identically, a paper by Dr Paul Mills originally published in 2005 by Cambridge Papers (https://www.cambridgepapers.org) and is published with permission. While not touching directly on current issues in the news, therefore, it does however provide a Biblical framework from within which we may be enabled to form our own views on what we are reading and hearing in relation to tariffs. We hope it is helpful in enabling readers to think through these issues with Scriptural illumination, clarity and wisdom.
