Economic casualties

Economic Casualties counts the cost of foreign policy sanctions and controls on an American economy increasingly integrated with that of the rest of the world. Its 14 essays describe and analyze the impact on U.S. manufacturing, trade, financial services, farming, high technology, human rights, and civil liberties.

They explore such current topics as human rights and trade with China, government access to encryption "keys," nuclear testing by India and Pakistan, and pending efforts in Congress to restrain the use of sanctions and bring export controls in line with economic reality.

Together, the essays in Economic Casualties argue forcefully and coherently for a new approach to U.S. foreign and economic policy - one that will build upon rather than undermine the growing influence of American civil and commercial society on the rest of the world.
