The Economic Consequences of Mr Trump

Philip Coggan

Hachette

Pp 112, Rs 299

Tariffs, trade wars and market busts. Looming recession, uncertainty and squeezed living standards. It’s economics, but not as we know it. Financial journalist Philip Coggan lifts the lid on Trump’s economic gam-ble, why it’s such a threat and how we can make sense of this new ‘age of chaos’. The result is a rallying cry for the importance of global trade and a reminder of the dramatic changes to geopolitics and economics that we all need to understand.
