This book offers a completely new and unique introduction to the
economics of international relations. It treats all the traditional
major themes of international relations theory while giving each a
refreshing new twist with the incorporation of the influence of
private power, particularly in the realm of war and peace. It
reframes the history of the modern global economy and politics by
thoroughly purging the myth of the market, a systematic blindness
to private power. It not only draws on, but also illuminates major
themes and empirical findings of comparative politics, business
history, business strategy, business cycle theory, social
evolutionary theory as well as the practical wisdom of traders and
investors. Part one introduces the major concepts of competing
theories of international relations, emphasizing a unique approach,
corporatism. Part two introduces the critical importance dynamic
and oppositional analysis of issues. Part three traces the rise of
the modern world from the mercantilist period until the rise of
modern corporate organizations and the demise of imperialism in the
crucible of World War I. Part four begins with the origins of the
contemporary dominance of business internationalism before and
during World War II, then analyzes three major facets of the
postwar era: the unification of much of Europe, the
industrialization of the Third World, and the Cold War and its
aftermath. The final chapter considers the present and future of a
fairly peaceful yet economically unstable world. This book presents
a refreshing and exciting portrayal of the global economy which
challenges every major subject from money to markets to the
business cycle. This book eschews the economics of dull averages to
restore the drama of contending business forces, struggling for
wealth and, in the process, influencing war and peace.
