Limitations and Failures of Trade Manipulation

Michael Taillard

Chapter 17 in Economics and Modern Warfare, 2012, pp 131-133 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract While trade manipulation resolves many of the challenges associated with supply manipulation strategies, and even expands on the economic tools available to a fighting force in their pursuit of military conquest, trade manipulation in itself is not without its own challenges. The logistics of developing and executing these strategies is difficult and requires a significant amount of intelligence gathering regarding both enemy operations and market trends. Even when this is accomplished, these strategies require constant maintenance to remain effective, so they are best used in conjunction with the intention to take advantage of otherwise temporary trade fluctuations as an opportunity to overwhelm a weakened stance for the opposition.
