How to Win a Trade War

Soumaya Keynes and Chad Bown

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Brad Setser recommends it
And the third book, a book that exceeded my expectations, is, you know, How to Win a Trade War or by Chad Bown and Soumaya Keynes. Whatever side of the trade debate you're on, you're going to learn something. It is not a polemic. It is, I think, the best guide to a world where people are thinking about trade in terms of vulnerabilities, not just in terms of opportunities. Brad Setser, thank you very much.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
