'In an era marked by trade wars, chip wars, and mounting economic sanctions, few books are more timely or valuable. Broadberry and Harrison's edited volume provides indispensable, rigorously researched insights into today's geopolitical challenges, exploring three centuries of efforts to weaponize economic relations in pursuit of political ends.'
