Why Protectionism Fails: The Truth About Tariffs, Trade & India's Startup Misjudgment | Anand Ranganathan

🔍 Is protectionism a solution or a trap? Are Indian startups being wrongly criticized? This video dives deep into two critical issues shaping our global and national economy.

🚨 Part 1: The Tariff Trap – Why Protectionism Fails
In a world increasingly divided between nationalism and globalization, we break down the growing use of tariffs and protectionist policies, especially under leaders like Donald Trump. While these moves might bring short-term domestic gains like factory growth and job creation, the video explains how long-term effects include:

Reduced competition and innovation

Higher prices for consumers

Poor-quality goods and limited choice

Friction in international trade

A return to monopolies and economic inefficiency

📌 With examples from America, Canada, the EU, China, and India, the speaker outlines how unfair trade practices need checks, but blanket protectionism is not the answer. Referencing Japan’s smart policy moves and India's withdrawal from RCEP, this segment presents a strong case for balanced free trade and reciprocity in tariffs, not economic isolation.

🇮🇳 Part 2: Piyush Goyal’s Remarks on Startups – A Reality Check
India’s Commerce Minister recently dismissed food delivery startups as “cheap labor,” contrasting them with China’s advances in AI and semiconductors. This video responds head-on, defending India’s thriving startup ecosystem that goes far beyond food delivery. The truth?

🇮🇳 Startups like Log9 Materials, Mynvax, AgniKul, MapmyGenome, and Serum Institute are pushing the boundaries in EV, AI, biotech, and space tech.

🍔 Food delivery apps like Zomato and Swiggy are creating millions of jobs, paying taxes, and offering consumer convenience.

🧠 The real problem lies in India's 0.6% GDP R&D spend, poor education outcomes, unskilled workforce, and lack of structural reforms.

The speaker calls out the hypocrisy of criticizing private innovation while governments continue to waste public money on failing PSUs and populist subsidies.

🎯 This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in economics, policy, trade, innovation, and the future of India’s economy.
