Blavatnik Book Talk: How To Win a Trade War – A Friendly Guide to an Unfriendly World

We used to take trade for granted. Trillions of dollars of goods and services crossed borders each year. Nobody paid too much attention: it just worked. Now, surging oil prices can hit your mortgage. Trump’s latest tariff announcement can crash markets and ruin your pension. Brexit can sever Britain from its closest trading partners. Chinese restrictions can bring the West’s car production to a crashing halt. Curbs on trade in cutting-edge chips could determine who wins the AI race. The stakes couldn't be higher. Join authors Soumaya Keynes and Chad Bown, in conversation with Professor Emily Jones, as they discuss their new book How To Win a Trade War: A Friendly Guide to an Unfriendly World.
