Financial wars, trade conflicts, panicking markets. What is really happening? Who wins, who loses?
A powerful exposé of the hidden financial battles reshaping global capitalism.

The global landscape is marked by a fierce financial war threatening to destabilize the capitalist system itself. On one side stand the giant financial funds-BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street-the undisputed masters of the world, who have so far dictated the stock market’s direction. Opposing them are cryptocurrencies and hedge funds, the most speculative actors, politically backed by President Trump and his administration. They view cryptocurrencies and tariffs as the only means to defend the dollar’s dominance over the global economy. This conflict quickly engulfed Europe, an attractive prize for its vast savings liquidity, torn between increased military spending-jeopardi­zing social welfare-and the risk of losing NATO’s protective umbrella. Meanwhile, emerging countries within the BRICS alliance seek alternatives to dependency on the dollar and Western finance. What we are witnessing is an internal clash within capitalism, with the potential to overturn the system and open the door to new, yet unknown, economic models. Alessandro Volpi reveals the fierce war between mega financial giants and speculative forces, exposing how Trump’s bold gambit with cryptocurrencies and tariffs threatens the fragile global balance of power.
