Yes, but of course the brunt will be borne by the poorer sections of the population.
Tariffs are a blunt tool to relocalise production, in contrast to the planned / managed degrowth we advocate e.g. https://gettingreal.org.uk and

Getting Real about the Crises Facing the UKI'm very curious what those of you in the degrowth community feel about tariffs. They will reduce trade, consumption, and hence pollution, yes? So over all tariffs, although bad for growth, will be good for the environment?

These are difficult times indeed, with terrible news…
resilienceTo everyone who's looking at the entirely self-inflicted tariff morass and thinking #degrowth, I'm afraid we tested that theory in May 2020.

Hear me out.
Trump’s tariff ploy is a last ditch effort to de-grow the global economy, so as to drastically reduce fossil fuel consumption & climate change. The dislocations will require a global “New Deal” ushering in socialist programs to ensure equity and justice.
The world will have to demilitarize in order to refocus resources on human needs.
No?!
Well, why not do this anyway, since the jackass started it?
@midide but in terms of wider consumption patterns, beyond power generation, fossil fuel usage, rather than declining, also continues to increase
While a shift to renewables is welcome, it only matters if it *replaces* fossil fuels, not if it provides additional capacity. Until we understand the implications of living on a finite planet - endless economic growth is a cancer that is killing us - we continue to hurtle towards climate & nature collapse
"Capitalism’s growth motor is broken and while there will be temporary repairs, nobody knows how to fix it long term. ‘Deregulation’, the weakening of hard-won protections for people and planet, is again fashionable but while it might give a temporary boost, it won’t change the underlying realities. Instead it will make their impact greater."

indeed. Also, more unemployment means more people loosing their homes = greater demand and prices for rentals.
Recessions are the most painful means of #degrowth. but it remains true that degrowth is only thing that has ever brought carbon emissions down. https://m.ai6yr.org/@exador23/114295247791156986
If we ever come out of this, hopefully we can have more coherent degrowth policies like 3 or 4 day work weeks, and UBI.

The idea that the tariffs could be a degrowth win by accident is misguided, I think. Trump’s goal obviously isn’t to slow US or global capitalism. And if the tariffs do either of those for very long, Trump will be gone soon so that growth can resume.

Hello! I forgot to make an intro post when I moved to this instance. Ope!
I am Nessie. For entertainment, I make messes and then try and figure out how to clean them up. Aka I’m an artist, haha.

"They roll back environmental and social protections: pulling out of agreements on climate mitigation, desperately promoting a building boom, directing expenditure to the military, promoting non-solutions such as nuclear power, hydrogen and carbon capture and storage, all in the name of GDP growth, for they know no other god."
"Faced with economic stagnation the elites are panicking. Wild eyed in the control room, they thrash around seeking to fix the unfixable, pushing all the buttons, pulling all the levers, to no avail, just making things worse. They try the old mantra “growth”, repeated endlessly, and given a priority above all else."
