Explore how ideas about the State and free societies shape our economy, law, and peace.
This study examines how mercantilist policies, the balance between government and society, and the meaning of national interests influence modern warfare and international relations. It argues that progress comes from balancing state power with liberty, and from moving beyond old trade barriers toward a shared, civilization-wide future.
- Understand the limits of treating the State as an end in itself, and why society should lead policy.
- See how government involvement in the economy can both hinder and help progress, depending on balance and purpose.
- Learn how ideas about national interests, law, and unity have influenced historical conflicts and the pursuit of peace.
- Consider reflections on how international cooperation and a common cultural heritage could reduce future conflicts.
Ideal for readers of history, political economy, and international relations who want a clear view of how economic ideas shape warfare and peace.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a thought-provoking examination of the economic causes of modern warfare. Although peace has been an international ideal for many years, history shows that economic factors have repeatedly led to conflict. The author examines economic policies and theories from the 16th century onwards, including mercantilism, nationalism and imperialism. They argue that the erroneous belief in the importance of national power and prosperity above all else has caused many past conflicts. The work challenges the reader to rethink the causes of war and consider the dangers of putting national interests first. By understanding the economic forces that have driven conflict in the past, we can work towards a more peaceful future.
