Well well well… if it isn’t tariffs making headlines again.

This time, it's the U.S. announcing 20% duties on EU imports, citing trade imbalances. Sound familiar?
If you haven't watched our video on tariffs yet - and you've ever wondered how tariffs actually work, who they really hurt (spoiler: usually not who you think), and why some politicians seem to love them so much… we've got you covered!

We’re thrilled to share that our first-ever documentary, “The Rise and Fall of the USA?!” has just launched exclusively on Curiosity Stream!

The USA is home to the largest and most influential economy in human history, but why? What made America an economic superpower? Was it resources, free markets, or simply being in the right place at the right time? And what happens when that time ends?

We worked for two years on this project, speaking with world-class economists, historians, and business leaders to explore the incredible success story of American capitalism. Filmed in the heart of New York City, we deep dive into the forces behind the U.S. economy and ask tough questions about its future.

You know China is one of America’s largest creditors. You know America’s housing crash in 2008 sparked a global financial crisis. You know that in the late 90’s Bill Clinton got caught up in an infamous affair while president.

But I bet you don’t know how these real world developments might have impacted one another. If you’re interested, go check out the latest video on @Epic Economics
