This work provides a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between economics and the phenomena of peace and war. Coulomb traces the evolution of economic thought on defense, peace, and conflict from the 18th century to the present, examining various schools of thought including classical economics, Marxism, and institutionalism. The book delves into how economic factors influence national power, the role of capitalism in warfare, and the concept of 'economic war,' offering insights valuable to scholars in defense economics, international relations, and political science.
