It turns out some countries produce a lot and other countries don't produce as much, so you can't just switch production to somewhere else overnight. That's where supply and demand comes in.
But yeah, I'm exaggerating a bit, and I definitely initially explain things according to their age level. Obviously 5yo doesn't need a full lecture on economics, but the 10yo can grasp a bit more.
Right, like I said, you can make it more and more complicated, depending if the kid wants more detail. I just don't think tariffs are any more complicated than any other subject. Everything gets complicated as you dig into it more and more.
Agreed. It's icebergs all the way down.
