Economists dislike tariffs for a variety of reasons. Like all barriers to market exchanges, they create inefficiency: they prevent you from selling me something I value more than you do, leaving both of us worse off in principle.

The article from MSN discusses the implications and limitations of tariffs as a tool in international trade policy. Tariffs, which are taxes imposed on imported goods, aim to protect domestic industries by making foreign products more expensive, thereby encouraging consumers to buy local. However, the article explains that while tariffs can provide short-term benefits like protecting nascent industries or retaliating against unfair trade practices, they also have significant drawbacks. These include potential trade wars, increased costs for consumers, and inefficiencies in domestic markets due to lack of competition. The piece highlights that tariffs can't solve all trade issues; they might lead to higher prices for goods, provoke retaliation from trading partners, and disrupt global supply chains. Moreover, tariffs might not effectively address underlying issues like currency manipulation or intellectual property theft, and they can sometimes harm the very industries they aim to protect by reducing export markets or increasing input costs. The article concludes by suggesting that while tariffs can be part of a broader trade strategy, they are not a panacea for trade imbalances or economic protectionism.
