From the transcript
As everyone is well aware, humans have been fighting each other for about as long as we've existed. But while weapons have changed drastically over the years from swords to guns to bombs, one strategy has stood the test of the years and has proven its effectiveness time and time again throughout history. Economic warfare.
Waging a war on another nation's economy is one of the most effective ways to both end a war and to even prevent one from starting in the first place. So join us today as we explore the remarkable impact that economic warfare has had on world history and its quiet potential to cripple entire armies.
Why you might assume that economic warfare isn't generally deadly, there are several instances where its use was perhaps more lethal than any weapon could have been.
