For many Enlightenment thinkers, discerning the relationship
between commerce and peace was the central issue of modern
politics. The logic of commerce seemed to require European states
and empires to learn how to behave in more peaceful, self-limiting
ways. However, as the fate of nations came to depend on the flux of
markets, it became difficult to see how their race for prosperity
could ever be fully disentangled from their struggle for power. On
the contrary, it became easy to see how this entanglement could
produce catastrophic results. This volume showcases the variety and
the depth of approaches to economic rivalry and the rise of public
finance that characterized Enlightenment discussions of
international politics. It presents a fundamental reassessment of
these debates about 'perpetual peace' and their legacy in the
history of political thought.
