War and economic power have been interwoven in the thought of
scholars since the beginnings of economic science, and views on the
role of war in the economy have shifted dramatically as the world
order has changed. The centenary of World War I has offered the
opportunity for increased reflection on this topic, particularly as
the war itself stimulated new directions for both research and the
development of theory. Economists and War brings together expert
contributors who are united in their commitment to exploring this
classic subject from innovative and heterodox points of view. The
chapters presented in the book delve into a wide range of
perspectives from Japan in the Second World War and Italy in the
First; the debate on State intervention among German-speaking
authors to the debate on the economic bases of perpetual peace; and
from Keynes, who wrote on the 'irrationality of war', to Sismondi,
who saw war as an opportunity for economic development, and not
only for nation-states. This volume is essential reading for
scholars of the history of economic thought, international
political economy and intellectual history. It is also of great
interest to those studying military and naval history.
