At this Reimagining the Economy, Harvard Kennedy School Harvard Kennedy School event, I shared my concerns about replicating Korea's success: 1. Advanced economies are increasingly reluctant to share their technology. 2. Domestic firms may lack innovation drive, especially in import substitution-focused countries.

Tariffs restrict our choices. If the proposed tariffs take effect, popular Korean skincare products will become pricier and harder to find. With few good alternatives, U.S. consumers are likely to bear much of the cost. More in CNN:
