Weaponized Economy — How Trade Wars Shape Our Future
What if the most dangerous weapon of the 21st century isn’t a missile, but a spreadsheet?
In an age where military confrontation is too risky, the world’s superpowers have turned to economic warfare — tariffs, sanctions, embargoes, and trade blockades. These tools are subtle, strategic, and often more destructive than bombs. Weaponized Economy by Michael Rodriguez unravels this hidden battlefield, where currencies and commodities become weapons of domination.
