Full Description
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 of 'great power conflict', accelerated by the rapid pace of
financial services digitalization. This economic conflict seeps into the way
international trade operates, into the way cross-border payments are made, into
supply chains, and even into how financial markets control the capacity of
governments to manage macroeconomic policy.
The institutions that were constructed to deal with a
peacetime economy are no longer adequate against a backdrop of military
conflict in Europe and the Middle East and heightened tensions in the Asia
Pacific region. Spending on defence and security seemed unimportant against a
backdrop of globalization, but because the world is now at economic war, there
is limited capacity either to build capacity or to fund our defence and
security. Military and economic security are two sides of the same coin: both are
a means of power projection; both are deeply political; and both are our means
of deterrence, defence, coercion and resilience.
