Money as power
Economic leverage is the use of financial position, resources, or debt to amplify potential gains or exert pressure in negotiations.
A country might use trade relationships as economic leverage against another nation.
In finance, leverage specifically means using borrowed money to increase investment returns—or losses: The firm collapsed because it was too highly leveraged.
