The main economic cause of the cold war was America's desire and need for world wide open markets. It was believed that for capitalism to be successful, and the American and world wide economy to recover, open markets were necessary. This was contradictory to the communist belief in closed markets. This issue came to a head in Europe where America wanted open markets in all of Europe and Russia wanted closed markets in countries they wanted to control as a buffer to American capitalism.
