Ulrike Herrmann: Money as a weapon
How the economy decides on war and peace
How do wars come about? And how does peace come about? In this book, journalist Ulrike Herrmann examines major international conflicts and analyzes that the reasons are not only historical, psychological or political. Instead, economic factors are often decisive. Using Russia as an example, she shows how the country's economic development makes permanent wars likely in the future. And it describes China's rise to superpower status and explains how President Xi has maneuvered his country into an economic dead end, which he is trying to conceal with his aggression against Taiwan.
An analytical look behind the scenes of the new world order and a fascinating analysis. Ulrike Herrmann explains why the risk of war is so high - and what we in Europe can do to secure peace.
