Money Talks: Is the West losing its sanctions war?
It's been two years since Russia brought war to Ukraine. America, Britain and the European Union may not have intervened by putting boots on the ground\u2014but they have launched a massive financial counteroffensive. Vladimir Putin\u2019s government, his cronies and the businesses profiting from the war are all subject to sanctions, yet the Russian economy has proved remarkably resilient. So, does financial warfare work?
Hosts: Mike Bird, Alice Fulwood and Tom Lee-Devlin. Guests: The Economist\u2019s Cerian Richmond Jones; Juan Zarate, the architect of America\u2019s sanctions after the September 11th attacks; and Nicholas Mulder, author of \u201cThe Economic Weapon\u201d, which examines the rise of sanctions as a tool of war.
