Economic warfare was especially evident in the early 1970's when the US President moved the world's currencies off the version of the gold standard agreed at Bretton Woods, at the end of WW2. Essentially this was because the system was too strict for the US, who had printed vastly more dollars than were supported by its holdings of gold. The change opened the door to economic warfare around the world, eg numerous attacks by banks on national treasuries. The huge losses on Black Wednesday in the UK were just one consequence.

Isn't that more of a siege situation? --Secruss (talk) 02:35, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
The article is fundamentally flawed. Economic warfare is not limited to wartime. For example, the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba could be described as economic warfare that attempts to coerce the Castro government towards reforms, but no one would argue that America is conducting military operations against them. I'm going to see if I can find some sources to help straighten up this article. Who's with me? --RDavi404 (talk) 23:41, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
You should check the german page. Well done. Need only correct translation and some adds. regards nemo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.227.107.162 (talk) 06:44, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
This article seems to be lacking in the techniques of economic warfare. What about predatory capitalism as a technique? Septagram (talk) 05:45, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't strategic bombing be listed among the types of economic warfare? It is directed specifically at the economic infrastructure of a nation. 165.91.64.205 (talk) 05:08, 12 April 2011 (UTC)RKH
This should at least be mentioned I believe, since in some respects you can conceive of a currency war as economic warfare. I don't have any sources directly on hand but the whole gist of a currency war is to devalue your currency so your exports become attractive and imports too expensive, thus you are benefiting your domestic exporters while screwing over foreign importers. The result is economic disadvantage to the foreign exporters.
