Lies and Lessons of the American Automobile Industry (feat. Wells King)

Season 2, Ep. 89

In Today's episode of "Moment of Truth," Saurabh sits down with Wells King, Research Director for American Compass, to discuss the history of the American Automobile Industry, how the success of Japan's Toyota, Honda & Nissan nearly crushed Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors in the 1980s, what the Reagan administration did to save the industry, and the implications this history has for free trade economics, protectionism, labor unions and manufacturing in the heartland.

Previously, he worked as a policy advisor to Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) on the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee and as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company. His writing has appeared in National Review, USA Today, First Things, The American Conservative, and The Daily Caller. Wells is a 2018-20 Public Interest Fellow, a 2018 Claremont Institute Publius Fellow, and 2016 Hertog Foundation Political Studies Fellow. He holds a B.A. magna cum laude from Davidson College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
