The world at economic war : how to rebuild security in a weaponized global economy
Description
Rebecca HARDING. The world at economic war : how to rebuild security in a weaponized global economy. La Vergne : London Publishing Partnership, 2025. Online resource, e-book.
The World at Economic War is a timely and thought-provoking reminder of the role that economics plays in modern warfare. It argues that economics itself is at war - the institutions of the post-war economic order are riven with challenges to their legitimacy, rendering the old certainties of market-based economics at best contested and at worst irrelevant. It shows how, through the interdependencies of globalization, the market system itself has become a means.
