The Economic Consequences Of Mr Trump (what The Trade War Means For The World)

By (author) Coggan Philip
Short description/annotation:
A timely exploration of Donald Trump''s economic policy - and why it matters for the world
Description:
Economic policy set at the whim of one man. Tariffs up one day and down the next. Businesses bewildered, consumers alarmed. As Donald Trump wages his trade war, what will become of a global economy dependent on close trading links? Leading financial journalist Philip Coggan lifts the lid on Trump''s economic gamble, why it''s a universal threat and how we can make sense of this new ''age of chaos''. This is his clear-sighted and powerful rallying cry in defence of global trade - and why it matters for the world.
Review quote:
The book is a tour de force. The arguments are very clearly and succinctly put in a way that should convince anyone of the madness of the tariff policy
Review quote:
Donald Trump and I both took economics degrees in the 1960s. This book describes the history which I learnt and Donald Trump has forgotten - or never understood. Philip Coggan''s masterly exposition is easy to understand and (almost) impossible to forget.
