33 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined 30 Jan \ on: Only 45 Percent of Americans Know What a Tariff Is econ
  1. 45% is pretty good for Americans being asked about anything
  2. The wording of the second question is close enough to the definition of "export tariff" that I suspect many who gave that answer understand what tariffs are and just didn't read closely enough.

At first, I thought 45% was low, but on second thought, it's not. This is a very specific economic issue. I'd bet that here in Portugal, that percentage is much lower—we’re a people with low financial literacy.

At least you have to specify. Americans just have a high level of general ignorance.
