Description

Trade Wars Past and Present by Nils Ole Oermann and Hans-Jürgen Wolff explores 500 years of international trade conflicts, examining their causes, instruments, and economic driving forces. The authors draw on decades of experience to provide a clear account of the economics of trade and financial policy since the nineteenth century. The book delves into the history of trade wars, economic sanctions, and economic warfare, investigating their effectiveness and the 'winnability' of these conflicts. It also describes the transformation of economic warfare in cyberspace and the world financial system, highlighting how China's rise challenges the Western model of democracy and free market economies. The authors conclude by calling for improved economic statecraft and an overhaul of the current trading regime, providing a timely analysis of the complex issues at play in global trade.
