Concluding remarks
The flurry of activity during the Trump administration’s first ‘100 days’ in office confirms a nontraditional approach to governing, a still largely unknown short- and long-term strategy, and unclear economic policy priorities. Some of the policies being subjected to potential reform – including health care, taxes, and financial sector regulation – may have been likely to arise, independent of the individual sitting in the Oval Office. But others – such as central bank independence, more radical steps on immigration, and reversing the US’s decades-long approach to trade policy and commitment to international cooperation – are much more extreme, far-reaching, and potentially disruptive.

On Trump’s economic policies, the broad consensus across this volume’s authors is one of watchful wariness and considerable concern. Many of the Trump administration’s proposed economic policy changes have the potential for significant short- and long-run disruption to the US and global economy.
