Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Tariffs, Taxes & Face-Eating Leopards is a sharp, readable political critique of tariff policy, trade-war theater, and the kind of economic messaging that sounds patriotic while quietly making ordinary life more expensive. Using the now-famous face-eating leopard metaphor as both joke and warning, this book breaks down what tariffs actually are, who really pays for them, and how Trump-era trade policy functioned less like economic protection and more like a stealth tax on the public. It looks at tariffs, taxes, consumer costs, corporate workarounds, farm bailouts, and the broader political habit of selling bad policy as common-sense populism. This is not a dry economics textbook, and it is not pretending that policy language is neutral. The book explains tariff mechanics in plain English, then follows the damage outward: higher prices, retaliatory trade wars, taxpayer-funded bailouts, distorted supply chains, and the familiar pattern of the poor and working class taking the hit while elites adjust and move on. The humor keeps it moving, but the argument is serious. When politicians sell tariffs as a patriotic fix, somebody still pays. Usually the people being told they are being protected. The book also has a strong visual identity. It includes original interior prints by Esme Mees, and those illustrations help give the project its character. They reinforce the absurdity and menace of the leopard metaphor, giving the book a political-cartoon edge that fits the writing. The images are not just decorative. They help make the argument more memorable and give the book a distinct tone compared with more generic titles on economics, taxes, trade policy, or Trump-era tariffs. For anyone tired of being told obviously bad economics is somehow a win for regular people, this book offers a clearer read on what tariffs do, why they are often sold dishonestly, and how populist branding keeps disguising economic pain as national strength. It is explanatory, satirical, and built to make the leopard easier to spot before it is halfway through your face.…
