cietokšņa ekonomika
Explanation:
"Fortress economy" raksturo Maltas ekonomiku līdz 60.gadiem, kad tā bija atkarīga no britu kara flotes klātbūtnes salā, un šī termina izcelsme, protams, ir saistīta ar Maltas vēsturi. Tiešu tulkojumu vislabāk sapratīs zinātāji, kā arī tas saglabās atsauci uz konkrēti Maltu, kaut gan ierindas lasītājs intuitīvi varbūt labāk uztvertu, piemēram, "karabāzes ekonomika".
