Obchodní války a pozice ČR – Janáčková Jaroslava (2020)

The term 'trade war' has recently filled the pages of the press as a new threat to global trade, particularly associated with the rise of the American administration led by President Trump. It is forgotten that 'free global trade' is unfortunately just a chimera, which many like to talk about, but no one practices in reality. It is a noble idea that has never been fulfilled in modern society. It is a theoretical path to general prosperity, on which many pitfalls unfortunately lurk." This is written and explained by economist Stanislava Janáčková in her new book. In the publication, which is divided into five chapters, the author realistically and without unnecessary ideological clichés describes the theory and practice of global trade, analyzes the trade relationship between the USA and China, as well as the phenomenon of European lagging in the unification trap, and provides data to illustrate who the winners and losers of the current form of global trade are. And what does this mean for us? How does the Czech Republic stand in a multipolar trading world and what threats does it face? The author arrives at answers to these questions in the conclusion of the book.
