The Future of the Economic Weapon

Financial, debt, and other economic crises have compounded over the last 15 years, and governments and international actors have responded, sometimes effectively, sometimes in a panic, often with painful consequences for citizens or other countries. This panel discussion brought together three influential economists and historians who have studied international economics as a weapon and a system of international organization: Mona Ali, who works on the contemporary dollar system; Jamie Martin, who has studied the origins of modern global economic governance; and Nicholas Mulder, an expert on the history of sanctions and economic coercion.

Panelist Details:

Mona Ali, SUNY New Paltz, author of a forthcoming book on the weaponization of the global dollar system

Jamie Martin, Harvard, author of The Meddlers: Sovereignty, Empire, and the Birth of Global Economic Governance 

Nicholas Mulder, Cornell, author of The Economic Weapon: The Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War
