Book Review: Welcome to the war economy
Authors: David Baverez
What: In David Baverez’s “Welcome to the War Economy”, he argues that since 2022, the West has shifted from a globalisation-driven “peace economy” to a war economy where scarcity, inflation, and strategic dependencies force a move from Just-in-Time efficiency to Just-in-Case resilience, guided by a new ESG: Energy, Security, War.
Why it is important: For retailers and European leaders, this means rethinking cheap global sourcing and consumer-centric models in favor of industrial sovereignty, secured supply chains, and the ability to withstand geopolitical and resource shocks.
