{"product_id":"world-at-economic-war","title":"World at Economic War","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe World at Economic War is a timely and thought-provoking\nreminder of the role that economics plays in modern warfare. It argues that\neconomics itself is at war – the institutions of the post-war economic order\nare riven with challenges to their legitimacy, rendering the old certainties of\nmarket-based economics at best contested and at worst irrelevant. It shows how,\nthrough the interdependencies of globalization, the market system itself has\nbecome a means of ‘great power conflict’, accelerated by the rapid pace of\nfinancial services digitalization. This economic conflict seeps into the way\ninternational trade operates, into the way cross-border payments are made, into\nsupply chains, and even into how financial markets control the capacity of\ngovernments to manage macroeconomic policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe institutions that were constructed to deal with a\npeacetime economy are no longer adequate against a backdrop of military\nconflict in Europe and the Middle East and heightened tensions in the Asia\nPacific region. Spending on defence and security seemed unimportant against a\nbackdrop of globalization, but because the world is now at economic war, there\nis limited capacity either to build capacity or to fund our defence and\nsecurity. Military and economic security are two sides of the same coin: both are\na means of power projection; both are deeply political; and both are our means\nof deterrence, defence, coercion and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"London Publishing Partnership","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55702785032536,"sku":"9781916749450","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781916749450_3699408f-7455-4461-bd02-ccffa48ca155.jpg?v=1765806328","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/world-at-economic-war","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
