Why US tariffs haven’t been passed through even more to higher US prices? 1️⃣ effective rate todayis “only” 8.8% now 2️⃣ but 8Aug tariffs settling into between 15 and 20%, so the effective rate is about to double 3️⃣ radical volatility of the tariffs ended; now seem “permanent” (Trump adjusted). → conjecture: pass through will accelerate this quarter

"Let us not discuss the causes of distress but attend to the following... " - Mahatma Gandhiji on food crisis after the Partition

The Partition Museum@PartitionMuseum

Food was a major concern in India especially after the Partition, with camps across the country experiencing a major shortage of food. While the country recovered from the Bengal famine food production levels had barely gotten a chance to improve when India was hit with Partition
