In this wide-ranging study Peter Custers seeks to highlight the
importance of the production and consumption of arms as a form of
social waste within the capitalist world order. The study
encompasses critical economic theory, historical studies of the
rise of capitalism, conceptualizations of international trade, and
analyses of the inequities spawned by globalized militarism.
Drawing especially on Volume 2 of Marx's Capital, Custers
creatively develops some of Marx's classical themes. The individual
circuit of capital outlined in that work is utilized by Custers to
demonstrate the generation of various types of waste at each step
in the military-nuclear and civilian-nuclear production chains. He
also proposes the new concept of negative use-value to highlight
the adverse consequences, for human beings and the environment, of
products that are churned out by the military-nuclear complex. In
opposition to the view that the capitalist system in its earlier
phases operated as a market system governed by 'internal'
exchanges, Custers produces historical evidence to demonstrate that
this system always incorporated a vital 'external' agent, namely,
the capitalist state, which has played a significant role in
capitalism's evolution at crucial junctures.
