Mariya Grinberg, an Assistant Professor of Political Science at MIT and author of "Trade in War," explores the intriguing dynamics of trade during wartime. She challenges the notion that economic exchanges cease amidst conflict, discussing her wartime trade theory. Grinberg reveals how states weigh military benefits against economic costs, with modern examples like the U.S.-China relationship and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Her insights shed light on the complexities of wartime trade policies and the persistence of economic interactions even in the face of war.
