Episode 121: Dude, where's my Prado?

Today’s episode examines the stark contrast between the U.S. and Mexican automotive markets, highlighting the limited choices and high prices of vehicles in the U.S. This disparity is attributed to protectionist policies favoring domestic manufacturers and prioritising corporate profits over consumer welfare. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, contrasts this with the availability of affordable, efficient cars from Japan and China in Mexico, and China’s success in EV innovation due to a different economic model. Ultimately, Dr. Hoerricks critiques U.S. capitalism for stifling innovation and consumer choice, advocating for systemic change to achieve true freedom in the automotive market and beyond.
