This guy is wrong about almost everything and is being funded with far-left Hewlett Foundation money. If this is what passes for intellectual diversity at Harvard it’s thin gruel: “we’re going to have some Republicans who are against free markets to supplement all the Democrats who are against free markets.” Maybe he would have gotten a more skeptical reception if it had been the economics department hosting him rather that government.

This is a beggar-thy-neighbor policy in which we know it's bad economics, but assume everyone else's economy will break before ours and a century of worldwide gains in poverty elimination will stop in its tracks. Overall, very cynical policy. Hiding behind a reimagined view of conservative doctrine to gain populist traction is an unfortunate trend amongst republicans.
