Ebben az epizódban

Warring countries have attacked each other’s economies for hundreds of years.

But do the tools of economic warfare – sanctions, tariffs, blockades and embargoes – actually work?

Soumaya speaks to Mark Harrison, emeritus professor of economics at Warwick university, and co-editor (with Stephen Broadberry) of Economic Warfare and Sanctions since 1688 , about what centuries of economic conflict can teach us about Iran (and Russia) today.
