Ireland, Israel, and the Protectionism Question
Daniel grew up in Ireland hearing that protectionism built the country's prosperity. Now he lives in Israel, where import restrictions are defended as a way to lower prices. Both stories can't be right. This episode traces Ireland's tariff era from 1932 to its collapse in the 1950s, then examines Israel's current reform push — from the 2014 Lang Committee to the "What's good for Europe is good for Israel" standard. Two countries, one policy, two very different stories told about it. Episode 5653 — myweirdprompts.com/n/5653 (permanent short link: myweirdprompts.com/359375)
