Description: "War often comes down to one thing: money. The role of economics in both peace and war is arguably the most important single factor when it comes to the study of defence." "The aim of this book is to provide a critical overview of the history of economic thought on defence, peace and war from its eighteenth-century origins right up to the present day." "This book will be of interest not only to those involved in the burgeoning field of defence economics - it will also be of interest to students and academics from international relations, defence studies, philosophy and political science backgrounds."--Jacket.
