Articles on Issue Theme

A war waged with external enemies is, in itself, a silent one waged with one’s own economy, which through specific management (as little bureaucratized as possible) and marketing (propaganda of course) must be skilfully concealed. Wars sustained through expropriations and draconian taxation of profits, through indebtedness and inflation, through the quasi-complete “martialization” of the economic and social climate produce terrible injuries, in which Pyrrhic victories become practically indistinguishable from outright defeats. The history of civilization, of capitalism, illustrates what economic theory stubbornly repeats despite its internal struggles: the market is a superior means of achieving individual or collective goals (unfortunately, regardless of their morality). But if the inefficiency of the state in peacetime seems a fatality, in wartime it can be fatal, moving nations, if we are the recall the famous ancient Sparta urge, from “under” their shield “on” it.

THE ECONOMICS OF WARLORDS AND PEACEMAKERS [ECONOMIA RĂZBOINICILOR ŞI PACIFICATORILOR]

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has created uncertainty in financial markets all over the world and has set off turmoil in global economy with high inflation rates. Sanctioning and excluding Russia from SWIFT might temporarily setback its economy and devalue its currency, which will not only affect the region, but it may also pose a threat on the entire world due to disruption in the supply-chain.

How Russia Is Beating the Sanctions Associated With Its War Against Ukraine

Major geopolitical changes and the resurgence of conflict in Europe, as well as Russia’s unjustified and illegal attack on Ukraine, challenge our ability to advance our goals and protect our interests. The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, accompanied by an increase in defence budgets, could provide an impetus for the reorganization of collaborative defence programs.

Education for Business: Fostering Students’ Entrepreneurial Mindset Within the Higher Education System

Economics is a science. When we want to explain society, economic theory is like the technical knowledge engineers use to design and explain the load-bearing structure of a building. An economic system built or altered in spite of economic laws is like a building designed or altered in spite of the strength of materials and the laws of physics. Sooner or later both are doomed to collapse.
