About this ebook
Author: Susmit Yadav
Trade is no longer just about economics. It is a weapon.
In The Tariff War, Susmit Yadav takes readers on a gripping journey through the hidden battlegrounds of global trade. What starts as a policy dispute in Washington D.C. ripples out to destroy livelihoods in rural India, reshape global supply chains, and threaten the food on your plate.
From the ancient toll roads of Mesopotamia to the high-stakes boardrooms of the WTO, this book unravels the history of tariffs and how they evolved into the geopolitical tools of today. At the heart of the story is the explosive standoff between the United States and India—a conflict defined by Donald Trump’s aggressive "America First" doctrine and India’s fierce defense of its agricultural sovereignty.
Inside, you will discover:
* The History of Trade Warfare: How the Great Depression and the Cold War shaped the modern economic battlefield.
* The PL-480 Crisis: The untold story of how food aid was used as a weapon against India, and why New Delhi refuses to bow down again.
* The GMO Trap: A deep dive into the controversy over Genetically Modified seeds, Monsanto, and why India fears becoming the next victim of corporate agricultural monopolies.
* The 50% Standoff: An analysis of the current tariff escalation, the fight over dairy and digital taxes, and what it means for the future of the global economy.
Essential reading for anyone trying to understand the new world order, The Tariff War exposes the high stakes of the clash between the world's oldest democracy and its largest.
"A masterclass in understanding how trade wars are fought—and who really pay
s the price."
