It argues that\u003cbr\u003eeconomics itself is at war - the institutions of the post-war economic order\u003cbr\u003eare riven with challenges to their legitimacy, rendering the old certainties of\u003cbr\u003emarket-based economics at best contested and at worst irrelevant. It shows how,\u003cbr\u003ethrough the interdependencies of globalization, the market system itself has\u003cbr\u003ebecome a means of 'great power conflict', accelerated by the rapid pace of\u003cbr\u003efinancial services digitalization. This economic conflict seeps into the way\u003cbr\u003einternational trade operates, into the way cross-border payments are made, into\u003cbr\u003esupply chains, and even into how financial markets control the capacity of\u003cbr\u003egovernments to manage macroeconomic policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe institutions that were constructed to deal with a\u003cbr\u003epeacetime economy are no longer adequate against a backdrop of military\u003cbr\u003econflict in Europe and the Middle East and heightened tensions in the Asia\u003cbr\u003ePacific region. Spending on defence and security seemed unimportant against a\u003cbr\u003ebackdrop of globalization, but because the world is now at economic war, there\u003cbr\u003eis limited capacity either to build capacity or to fund our defence and\u003cbr\u003esecurity. Military and economic security are two sides of the same coin: both are\u003cbr\u003ea means of power projection; both are deeply political; and both are our means\u003cbr\u003eof deterrence, defence, coercion and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Harding, Rebecca","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52422553895251,"sku":"9781916749450","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/harding-rebecca-rebecca-harding-the-world-at-economic-war-2025-9781916749450-1207598782.jpg?v=1763585367","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/rebecca-harding-the-world-at-economic-war-2025","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
