Tomorrow @ 10 AM ET: Book Talk | Blood and Treasure
What do the historical interactions of war with financial innovation, economic incentives, and technological change mean for the world today?
[link removed]
Tariffs, sanctions, export controls, supply chain security, and industrial policies. We live in a world where the linkages between conflict and the economic sinews of countries and alliances have returned to the center of policymakers’ concerns. But this is hardly new – states have long known that power and plenty go together and are now ramping up their actions based on this realization again.
In an engaging new book, Duncan Weldon traces these connections through cases that range from Genghis Khan’s pivotal role in globalization to the Bank of England’s contribution to British expansion; from the incentive structures of Caribbean piracy to the immense costs of the 20th century’s total wars.
