Stephen Broadberry is Professor of Economic History in the Department of Economics at the University of Oxford. Mark Harrison is Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Warwick.'In an era marked by trade wars, chip wars, and mounting economic sanctions, few books are more timely or valuable.

Joseph A. Maiolo, author of Cry Havoc
'It is hard to imagine a more topical theme, and Broadberry and Harrison are the perfect editors. Essential reading for anyone interested in globalisation, deglobalization, and the many links between trade and war.' Kevin O'Rourke, author of Power and Plenty
'Economic warfare has usually been regarded as a product of the twentieth-century total wars, but in this revealing and wide-ranging set of essays Harrison and Broadberry show that forms of economic warfare go back a long way and are still a twenty-first century reality. There is much here for policymakers as well as historians to reflect on.' Richard Overy, author of Why War
'Broadberry and Harrison have long been leading figures in understanding the economics of warfare. In this volume, they offer the definitive starting point for anyone needing to understand the central role of economic power as an instrument of coercion in security competition.' Paul Poast, author of Wheat at War
'This superb volume is impressive in both the breadth of its coverage and its depth. It will become required reading for anyone trying to grasp the effectiveness of economic warfare and sanctions. I only wish it did not feel so relevant to the contemporary world.' Duncan Weldon, author of Blood and Treasure
