This isn't dry economics. It's a narrative charged with urgency, consequence, and humanity.From the clang of Sheffield steel mills to the humming chip plants of Silicon Valley, this book journeys through the industrial arteries of the West as they seize under the weight of economic nationalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the heart of it all is Trump's second presidency and a doctrine that turned trade policy into artillery. Each chapter reveals how tariffs, once dismissed as bureaucratic tinkerings, became acts of war cloaked in legislation.In vivid, forensic detail, Fleckney guides us through the fallout: fractured supply chains, civil unrest, collapsing alliances, and a democratic West blindsided by its own complacency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCanada reels from annexation jibes. Europe fractures under pressure. Britain, still staggering post-Brexit, finds itself economically marooned. And in the shadows, China calibrates its response with surgical precision.But this is more than a chronicle of collapse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFault Lines is also a story of resilience-of workers, communities, and local leaders who refuse to be erased by global decisions made far above their heads. It's a warning-and a reckoning.If you think tariffs are mere numbers on a page, think again.Because this time, the first shot of war came with a signature, not a siren.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Fleckney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1326537350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781326537357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imprint: Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Patrick Fleckney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46867286917375,"sku":"9781326537357","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa118b70-8ed0-40a5-b535-a46a42190dc6.jpg?v=1747454375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fault-lines-patrick-fleckney-9781326537357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
