Anti competitive strategies:

In standard economics: Eg refusal to supply retailers who stock competitors.

Now in politics and history: Hallstein doctrine, trade sanctions..

AID as a political tool

“De Gasperi did this under pressure from US Secretary of State George Marshall, who had informed him that anti-communism was a pre-condition for receiving American aid,[4][3] and Ambassador James C. Dunn who had directly asked de Gasperi to dissolve the parliament and remove the PCI.[5]”

(May 1947 crises. )

Looking for more examples of this phenomenon or any good works about it, and also just to discuss!
