9781334474521: Economic Phenomena Before and After War

Synopsis

This book proposes that modern warfare is rooted in the social and economic conditions of advanced industrialized societies. The author argues that societies experience an unstable economic equilibrium characterized by rising consumption, an expanding population, and a disproportionate production of manufactured goods compared to agricultural ones. This imbalance leads to an accumulation of capital and a search for new markets, ultimately resulting in war as a means to readjust economic and political power. The book draws on a range of economic and statistical data to support its argument, providing a fresh perspective on the causes and consequences of modern warfare.
