Krugman nails it. I'll add, what does Bessent mean by "money" being fixed, we don't hold money supply fixed as a policy. Maybe he means wages? But why would some home produced goods fall in price if wages do not fall? It's possibly not even consistent.

People have been puzzling over Scott Bessent's claim that tariffs can't be inflationary — which is, by the way, completely different from Trump's claim that foreigners will pay. The thing is, there is a kind of model here — one that is clear, consistent, and totally false 1/

An empirical econ paper needs two things: 738 robustness checks concluding we can’t really ever fully be sure of internal validity in the appendix, and one (1) wild back of the envelope calculation indicating that the result is world-changing in the discussion section

Imposing this large, new, regressive tax on Americans will destroy jobs across the United States, will raise inflation, and will not affect the availability of fentanyl. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=... www.piie.com/publications... @piie.com

Have no fear, citizens, this will merely be a transitory increase in the inflation rate.
