He&#8217;s an authority on income inequality.<\/p>\n<p>His latest book, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Great-Global-Transformation-Remaking-Economic\/dp\/0226846415\/ref=sr_1_1\">The Great Global Transformation: The United States, China, and the Remaking of the World Economic Order<\/a>,&#8221; is forthcoming in March 2026. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterstones.com\/book\/the-great-global-transformation\/branko-milanovic\/9780241678930\">U.K. edition<\/a>, subtitled &#8220;National Market Liberalism in a Multipolar World&#8221; and released in June, made the Financial Times&#8217; &#8220;Best books of 2025: Economics&#8221; list.<\/p>\n<p>The book draws on the author&#8217;s original research to argue that the world&#8217;s two leading economies \u2014 the U.S. and China \u2014 have changed in opposite directions over the past 50 years, resulting in &#8220;the greatest reshuffling of incomes since the Industrial Revolution,&#8221; and that, in turn, is causing political changes that reverse the trend towards globalization.<\/p>\n<h3>Trade Wars<\/h3>\n<p>First, he demonstrates the relative changes in income between the U.S. and China, as well as Asia and the West generally. He illuminates the data with 35 charts and graphs. Then he analyzes past economic theories, showing they can&#8217;t explain whether trade promotes or reduces conflict between nations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1558465\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Great-Global-Transformation-Remaking-Economic\/dp\/0226846415\/ref=sr_1_1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1558465\" class=\"wp-image-1558465\" title=\"Cover of The Great Global Transformation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Great-Global-Transformation.jpg\" alt=\"Cover of The Great Global Transformation\" width=\"250\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Great-Global-Transformation.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Great-Global-Transformation-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1558465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Great Global Transformation<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The theories, he says, failed to foresee that U.S. wage earners and investors would merge into a new labor class that combines high salaries with investment returns via equity stakes such as stock options.<\/p>\n<p>Next, he provides an overview of China&#8217;s internal economic and political evolution, especially under Xi Jinping, its president. Milanovic sees China&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/alibaba-exec-on-suppliers-tariffs-ip\">opening to private enterprise<\/a> as different from that of the former communist regimes in Russia and Eastern Europe. He believes China will continue to stand apart on the international stage.<\/p>\n<p>He believes these factors lead to increased nationalism and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/ecommerce-after-de-minimis-tariff-exemption\">retreat from globalization<\/a>, resulting in trade wars, tariffs, sanctions, and border walls. In Milanovic&#8217;s view, &#8220;Economic coercion is now considered a normal part of the foreign policy toolkit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite specialized terminology, Milanovic&#8217;s writing is clear even for lay readers. He offers many provocative ideas in just under 200 pages, but no practical business guidance.<\/p>\n<p>However, the book steps back from simplistic daily news bites and places them in the context of a bigger picture. Milanovic draws parallels in political trends across countries and points out that what seems like flip-flopping or policy reversals by Xi and others may be &#8220;course corrections&#8221; towards a long-term goal. He notes that U.S. nostalgia for post-war dominance is an exception, not the norm.<\/p>\n<p>Merchants who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/smarter-paths-to-global-sales\">sell or source internationally<\/a> may find &#8220;The Great Global Transformation&#8221; fresh and useful as they navigate growth.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new book from a noted economist seeks to explain the causes of tariffs and trade barriers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2444,"featured_media":1558476,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[58326],"tags":[55500],"class_list":["post-1558459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-schools-resources","tag-Books",""],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.2 (Yoast SEO v25.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Rise of Global Tariffs, Explained - Practical Ecommerce<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new book from a noted economist seeks to explain the causes of tariffs and trade barriers.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/the-rise-of-global-tariffs-explained\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Rise of Global Tariffs, Explained\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new book from a noted economist seeks to explain the causes of tariffs and trade barriers.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/the-rise-of-global-tariffs-explained\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Practical Ecommerce\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/practicalecommerce\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JeanGazisBiz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-12-04T12:39:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-12-04T22:02:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/The-Rise-of-Global-Tariffs-Explained.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"240\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jean Gazis\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@yestare\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@practicalecomm\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jean Gazis\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/the-rise-of-global-tariffs-explained#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/the-rise-of-global-tariffs-explained\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Jean Gazis\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/#\/schema\/person\/5b4fc1e3d060639e77dcb828da590df3\"},\"headline\":\"The Rise of Global Tariffs, Explained\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-12-04T12:39:20+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-12-04T22:02:51+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/the-rise-of-global-tariffs-explained\"},\"wordCount\":455,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/the-rise-of-global-tariffs-explained#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/The-Rise-of-Global-Tariffs-Explained.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Books\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Schools &amp;
