Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today’s trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past thirty years. Across the world, the rich have prospered while workers can no longer afford to buy what they produce, have lost their jobs, or have been forced into higher levels of debt. In this thought‑provoking challenge to mainstream views, the authors provide a cohesive narrative that shows how the class wars of rising inequality are a threat to the global economy and international peace—and what we can do about it.

评分##"Despite these moves toward liberalization, the end of the war failed to restore trade to its pre-1929, much less pre-1913, importance. In fact, crossborder flows of goods and services relative to global output would not return to the zenith reached in the 1870s until the 1970s." Shocked me.

评分##A deeply problematic book that evades the question of growth in developing countries, as well as the issue of demographics in the so-called surplus countries. It will lend intellectual gravitas to a lot of protectionist measures in the next administration.
评分##历史蛮详实的,国际贸易入门书
评分##和great rebalance一样的理论框架,可搭配看。没太涉及class war 和inequality,两者只是作为产能/储蓄剩余的起因被讨论。
评分##可以通过这本书学到很多国际贸易,金融历史和现状的知识。180年前大清国与大英帝国的鸦片战争不是关于鸦片的,而是关于贸易的。鸦片战争只是从贸易矛盾升华到热战的程度,背后是因为贸易的不平衡,双方争夺的是如何成为一个顺差国。而今天的中美的贸易战本质是不同国家由于全球化造成的内部矛盾。贸易战有三方玩家,收益方是资本在全球流动过程中钱生钱的财团和银行获得巨大的利润,另外两个玩家是像中国那样低收入的贸易顺差国家和被压迫的普通人。还有受到失业的压迫以及债务的上升像美国那样的贸易逆差国家的普通人。受益者是跨国财团,受害人是中美两国的普通老百姓。川普当选后是代表美国中低层的人们利益,他们对华尔街那些财团以及全球化造成的负面影响是不满的,这些民众都是不满现状,想要改变。唯一办法是去全球化或逆全球化。
评分##对中美的了解都加深了一点
