China’s response is not the start of a global trade war since it only targets the USA. It is how you would expect a major player to respond. This is not the global economy breaking down, it is not the 1930s, it is not the formation of multiple imperial blocs, it is the US isolating itself.

this is a bit discouraging, though not unexpected...
We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself?Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question. www.michellerao.com/research
