The brief:

Tackling complex microeconomics, turn it around in time to keep up with the news cycle, and make it engaging for an audience who are not economists. In this project I wanted to push my illustrative style I first explored in The Impact of Pharma Tariffs video to be more refined and professional looking. I was very heavily inspired by editorial illustrations done for outlets such as the Washington Post.

Are imports bad for economic growth?
