metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This review focuses on the book by leading Chinese historian Shen Zhihua, Economic Vortex: The
  Beginning of the Cold War Reinterpreted (Hongkong, 2022). The central question that Shen wants to answer
  in his work is “Could the Cold War have been avoided?” The professor examines this question through a “new
  angle” — the economic relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union. Ultimately, Professor Shen
  concluded that the Cold War was an “accidental product” that could have been avoided. Further political and
  economic cooperation between U. S. and Soviet Union after World War II was in fact possible. The coexistence of
  two different ideologies and systems was also possible. The monograph consists of seven chapters. Shen analyzes
  in detail how the U. S. and the USSR gradually fell into an “economic vortex”, severing all economic relations
  between them. History — lessons for the future. The current situation in the world, the conflict between the two
  superpowers, China and U. S., has made the issue of the Cold War particularly relevant. Professor Shen believes
  that the outbreak of the Cold War in the middle of the last century is a “historical nuisance” for all mankind and
  contradicted the main course of the history of all mankind — the peaceful way of development. The PRC and the
  U. S. must not repeat the mistakes made by the American and Soviet leadership in the 20th century, which ended
  up dragging the entire world into a long and senseless conflict.
