    The Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy

    In The Commanding Heights, the battlefield is the global economy, and the stakes are the soul of nations. Charting the dramatic struggle between government control and free-market forces, this sweeping narrative traces how ideas, ideologies, and institutions have clashed and converged to shape the fate of billions. From boardrooms to ministries, from crisis to reform, the book captures a world in flux—where power shifts not only across continents but between competing visions of freedom and order. As markets rise and empires fade, one question echoes through the corridors of influence: who should hold the reins of prosperity—the invisible hand or the guiding state? This is the story of the modern world’s economic conscience, laid bare in riveting detail.
