Correcting Some Media Misconceptions About Libertarianism, Trade, and Immigration [updated with apology/acknowledgement of error by Elie Mystal]

Since last week's  victory in our tariff case before the US Court of International Trade, I have done more media interviews than in any other comparable period in my life. I have spoken to print reporters, TV, radio, podcast interviewers, and more. The interviews included ones with media in seven different countries, and three different languages. I compiled links to some of these interviews and stories based on them here, here, and here. The media frenzy did not happen because I am an important person or a great media personality (I am neither). It's because Trump's trade war impacts millions of people all over the world.

On the whole, this has been a positive experience. Most of the coverage has, in my view, been fair and accurate. In many cases, I have been very impressed by the knowledge and insight of the reporters and interviewers, including some from foreign countries.
