The next step in this logic is to think about how financial power can be directed to national advantage in the case of a diplomatic conflict. Sanctions are a routine (and not terribly successful) part of the pressure applied to rogue states like Iran and North Korea.
这种逻辑的下一步是思考如何让金融实力在外交冲突中转化为国家优势。制裁是对伊朗和朝鲜等无赖国家施压的常规程序，但却并不十分成功。但向更深植根于全球经济的国家施压的效果却可能好得多。
