A Brief History of World Trade Wars

This book discusses in detail how humans have used economic means and trade wars to bring enemy countries to their knees since ancient times. It also opens up a more effective and time-saving method than war. Due to the combination of many factors, Western countries ushered in the Age of Discovery. This has greatly accelerated the process of global trade. It is precisely because of the huge profits from maritime trade that it drives a person, a chamber of commerce, and a country to sail across the sea under the temptation of high returns. Portugal and Spain were among the earliest pioneers of overseas routes. But it was replaced by the Netherlands due to constant consumption. The Netherlands once monopolized the economic trade between the East and the West, which enabled the rapid development of domestic capitalism. In the end, it fell to the British. The world's hegemons are constantly changing, but global economic and trade exchanges will always be one of the unchanging themes of mankind.

This book takes several important trade wars as clues and analyzes the evolution, pros and cons of trade wars in specific cases. Nice~

This book is okay

Comprehensively describes the birth and survival significance of the economic and trade war that defeats the enemy without fighting.

The content of this book is very rich. The author introduced the trade wars in history in detail, and also analyzed the causes and effects of the trade wars, which gave me a deeper understanding of the trade wars. And some of the ideas in the book are very enlightening, such as the importance of free trade to world prosperity. I think this book is not only suitable for people who are interested in history, but also helpful in studying current trade protectionism. The authors Zhao Tao and Liu Hui are amazing, able to explain such a complicated history so clearly!

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests

A good book, worth reading in depth.

Good analysis and detailed examples

Comprehensive and detailed historical presentation and analysis have a very good enlightenment effect on reality.

I enjoyed reading it, but I couldn't get enough of it. The author's descriptions are meticulous.

Overall it's pretty good, but the selection is a bit sparse

Through this book, we learned about the development history of trade wars.

The stories in the world are like this, going around and around, so similar but different, and the battle for resources continues.

Understand historical knowledge

Not bad, I know a lot of things

It's okay to listen to for fun, but there are some flaws in it.

"If you control oil, you control all countries; if you control food, you control all people."

Good, good, good

We are unwilling to fight a trade war, but we are not afraid of it either. Never bow to hegemony!
