Economic Terrorism

1. Blocking or denying the right of an entity to buy, sell or trade in order to force them into bankruptcy, extreme hardship, or extreme poverty usually with the intent of extorting them into giving up something valuable that the aggressor wants. For example: If a country wants another to give up oil, or diamonds, they can commit economic terrorism by starving the other until they surrender or die. 2. Placing restrictions on a citizen in order to deny them the right to buy, sell or trade in order to force them to conform, submit, or comply to the oppressor's rulers or mores.
