Harvard Business School professor Willy Shih joins WIRED to answer the internet's burning questions about the global supply chain. How do tariffs work? Why have egg prices become so high? Is the world in a trade war? When did a global economy first develop? How could the United States realistically bring back manufacturing jobs? Will global supply chains collapse? Answers to these questions and many more await on Supply Chain Support.



NOTE: On April 2, President Trump ended de minimis treatment for low-value imports from China via executive order, effective May 2.
